culture of downloading and installing individual programs that are not from a repository, and often do not even have an updater.
Yes, MS has a repository for their own OS, and applications, but, for the rest of the software it is pure chaos. Some having their own updater, some NOTHING. In the case of nothing, you have to hear in the news that there is a problem, then go looking for an update.
Ubuntu could do everybody a big favor with a repository of all the free software for Windows, and apt-get / Synaptic for Windows.
