Abstract: Installation of an operating system update on a data processing system can begin by receiving one or more packages containing an operating system (OS) update that includes a first portion of the OS update and a second portion of the OS update. The first portion, once installed, provides a bootable OS which allows other applications to execute on the OS even without the second portion being installed. After the first portion has been installed, the installation process (e.g., an installer) commits the data processing system to boot off the first portion. After committing to boot off the first portion, the data processing system cannot boot off the prior OS. After the committing, the data processing system attempts installation of the second portion, and this attempt occurs automatically in response to successful installation of the first portion.

Abstract: Systems, apparatuses, and methods are provided that can reduce problems associated with updates of various applications on various devices, including addition of new services for communicating with another device. A compatibility version (e.g., a minimum compatibility) for a first communication service on a first device can be checked against a compatibility version for communication service on a second device. A comparison of the compatibility versions can determine whether a message can be sent using the first communication service to the second device.
