   You still have no idea what you're talking about. Nothing is suspended. Your   
   latest clueless claim is simply wrong - again.

   So you're trying to move the goal-posts from your *factually wrong* claim of   
   "You have to stop everything...during update"  to now a rant about a few   
   files that have to be moved (not copied) after a reboot.

   Keep on trying to move the goal-posts from your *factually wrong* claim of   
   "You have to stop everything...during update"  to now a rant about a few   
   files that have to be moved (not copied) after a reboot.   
      
   Oh yeah... those couple of seconds to move a few files is such a game   
   changer.   
      
   You're better off sticking to your nonsense about those imaginary Adobe   
   licenses and NDA agreements that you know nothing about.
