A second problem is that in the windows world, you normally do not know
what installation scripts do to your machines. Thus when you install a
new service you do it at the risk of screwing up other services. then
it is a pain to find out why the two services do not work together.
Thirdly, in most cases you have to reboot your Windows after installing
new software, but that means interrupting service on other services, and
relegating installation of software to evenings and weekends costs
money, because of lost flexibility and because the IT people will do it
only for so long without getting extra pay.
