You did get that fishy Flash request, too.

Only when I originally installed Chocolatey on the machine, never again after that.. but then again, I never tried to install it on the machine again.

While a bit slow, Installs from Chocolately is going MUCH better this time.
I like that you can string together installs too.

It really is super handy for doing "normal" software installs. For those of us that have been managing software like this for like fifteen years, it feels so crazy doing it on Windows without a tool like this.

There is NiNite, not sure how long it's been around?

yeah, you've had that whole store-like options for what seems like ever.

Yup. Store link and also the command line super simple management. iOS has a store, but installation and searching is ridiculously hard even still. Even if you know what you want, you cannot always find it and you certainly cannot easily automate it.

A while now, but not sure if you can create your own repos for that.

The IOS store, along with the Google Play/Amazon/Windows stores all suffer that problem.
Short of getting a direct link to what someone is suggesting for you, it's very likely you'll get the wrong (though infected) thing.

Yup, not one of them has reached the RPM system of nearly 20 years ago. The amount that they lag the Linux ecosystem is sometimes just mindboggling.

Windows is the worst. The Metro store has no search at all, no idea how you were supposed to use it. The Windows Phone store was actually nothing but malware. No real apps at all. The entire platform might as well have been designed for malware. It seemed to have no other function. For that reason alone, nothing more needed, I don't see it as a viable device.
