Microsoft Still Trying To Turn Dimdows Into Linux

Microsoft is definitely suffering from Linux-envy. There are many
parts to this envy, of course: one of them is package-manager-envy.
Microsoft would dearly love for Windows to have a common architecture
for installing and updating add-on packages, like most Linux distros
do.

But there are lots of obstacles to this in the proprietary-software
world, not least of which is that the major proprietary-software
developers would never agree to it, because they see it as a loss of
control over their own Intellectual Property.
