New versions often come via windows update (which you _could_ consider easier than manually installing it -> apt).

Plus, this is a thread about the core clr and as I said: That won't be required/necessary in a system wide installation anymore. So you now install RandomApp and .Net is just part of it - just like you can apt-get install random-app.

We're comparing now the package management, not the ease of installation of .Net. There is no installation of .Net anymore (or - see above: It sooner or later lands via windows update).

I'm a Linux guy, but that's [1] just a weird case to make here, both in general and specifically in this context.
