There's a few niceties in 7.x, but since it's not ubiquitous it pays not to get used them, to ensure portability. I had ps7.4 on this machine, it didn't automatically upgrade to 7.5, I just manually upgraded, I notice the installer now defaults to allowing future updates through WU/WSUS, probably a good move.
