Hello everyone,

First of all. I have to apologize to moderators about my last posting.
I did it without login, so someone might be dealing with my last posting.
BUT, I have no time to wait.
Please forgive me.


Now I am trouble with translating the phrase 'in minutes versus days'.
Would you please change the phrase into other one in order to understand easily?
I found the phrase in the following sentence.
"Application updates made in minutes versus days;"

I useually use 'versus' like that: The final of the World Cup will be Brazil versus England.
This is easy to understand, but ....

Please help me.

Yoko,

From that one sentence, my interpretation is as follows:

Applicaion updates are now made in minutes compared to previously when application updates required days.

Good luck.
