Yes. But since LiteStep is freeware, it can be updated more often. With
stuff like Windows, they can release patches, but to make any considerable
changes, they pack it up under a new name, send it through marketing, and
make you *pay money* to get rid of *their* bugs. Case in point, Win98 vs.
Win95. Basically the same, but much more stable. And $90 just to upgrade.
