#2Will be interesting if this will be similar to linux with the possibility of community driven repositories alongside official repo's. Or if it's more of an admintool to do windows updates/windows store installs.
Edit: Apparently, it's also open source [1]

#3As simple as it seems, this single failing has been my primary reason for outright dismissing Windows as a reasonable contender for server usage, no matter what else Microsoft might do to make it attractive for a variety of server tasks. A system that cannot be updated easily without human intervention is not a system that deserves a place in any data center.

#4I'm not a Windows user so maybe I'm way off, but wouldn't adding Cortana go much farther in getting people to upgrade?
How's the Kinect support in Windows? Quite honestly, Microsoft is only competing against itself. How many XP uses are still out there? A couple hundred couple hundred million? Give them a reason to get excited.

It seems like you haven't paid much attention to the leaks and rumors out there... Cortana is 100% going to be in Windows 10 from the looks of it. Also, this package manager is designed to get the people MS needs excited the most - hardcore power users like us.

#7This could be awesome, especially if it can integrate with the Windows Store. Maybe even your XBox/WP too?

#8This reminds me of that time that Microsoft caught up to a competitor years too late to have any impact.

It says it uses the same package format at Chocolatey and you can even add their repos. I don't know if there's any caveats to this, but it's a very, very good sign. I am excited about this.
