Installing apps on Windows is 100% as easy to do now as it is with Homebrew and Linux package managers with Chocolatey. I don't download software anymore on my Surface; I choco install EVERYTHING.

I was even surprised to discover today that I could install IntelliJ via choco install! It is amazing.

If there was Hckrnews gold, it'd be yours. This alleviates a lot of problems I constantly had with Windows, namely downloading crap from who-knows-where then contains who-knows-what. This actually might be the deciding factor.
