==Component Based Servicing==
''Package Manager'', part of the Windows Vista [[computer maintenance|servicing]] [[technology stack|stack]], replaces the previous ''Package Installer'' (<code>Update.exe</code>) and ''Update Installer'' (<code>Hotfix.exe</code>). Microsoft delivers updates for Windows Vista as files and resources only. Package Manager, [[Windows Update]], and the Control Panel item to turn Windows features on and off, all use the Windows Vista servicing stack. Package Manager can also install updates to an offline Windows image, including updates, boot-critical device drivers, and language packs.
