Applications: Kitchen or CAB install?

[Liquidmantis]

I just got my XV6800 yesterday and as of now I'm running no2chem 5067 with a slew of applications. I was wondering what the advantage is of including apps in the ROM file. Does doing it that way put everything into a reserved ROM space versus installs putting them into the Programs memory location? If that's the case I can see the advantage, but that means cooking up a new ROM everytime an app gets updated which might get old.
