Having an app store is easier than expecting people to download things from the internet, just because your distro fucked up doesn't mean this isn't generally a win for linux.

i work IT, software fails to install ALL THE TIME on windows for all kinds of reasons

...how exactly do you think the app store works?

Do you just not realize that Windows and Mac also have app stores?

On windows, the app store is extremely lacking, mac, sure.
