What do you mean by update vs. upgrade? Update = bug fixes only vs. upgrade = more features? Or something else?

Oh sorry I should clarify myself. But yes, you are correct.

Update is basically like bug fixes, or resolving incompatibilities and stuff like that. [For eg. Windows XP -> SP1 -> SP2 -> SP3]

Upgrade would mean adding new features. Moving along with the times. New technologies etc.
