Hey, if it means I don’t have to pick between five ways to package the same app I may call it a wash.
Of course Windows already has two of those and one sucks.
I’m really torn on this one because I don’t necessarily want every app to have to keep a service or do a launch check for updates every time, I’d rather have a single update manager. That’s better. But I don’t want Windows to know everything I have installed and whether or not it’s updated and to pester me with updates of zombie apps I haven’t used in years. That’s worse.
I guess it comes down to implementation. So knowing MS’s track record I am not holding my breath here.
So like Linux has been doing for years?
Yes but probably minus the good aspects.

They already know everything you have installed. They have an option to “disable” telemetry but who knows how reliable that is.
Since at least the mid 90s.
