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.
