Yes, it definitely sounds like a typical Digital River experience. They're really a mess. Microsoft uses them to fulfill online Microsoft Office orders, and it takes so many steps you want to scream.
If there are no other reasons, this is why I want a solid App Store on Windows that has every app I'd want to buy. Seriously; it's just too much trouble to give companies money sometimes!
- pyre 16y agoThe solution isn't necessarily an App Store on Windows, it's to build better purchasing experiences. You're reasoning is sort of like: "I have serious issues with all GM cars due to shoddy quality, therefore all cars must be manufactured by Toyota because I like them."
- Pooter 16y agoI think his reasoning is more like "I see a fundamental design flaw in all other cars which Toyota has recognized and addressed in a way that I like, and wish other manufacturers would adopt that solution or one similar to it." You don't have to agree, but don't poo-poo his desire for a unified, simple application purchasing experience in his OS of choice. That's a customer talking about what they want out of a product.
- pyre 16y agoMy point was more along the lines of "unified purchasing experience" != "good purchasing experience." You could have all apps unify on a horrible purchasing experience, no?
- Pooter 16y agoI thought the original poster implied a good purchasing experience along with a unified one, and that though the unified experience might be part of the good experience, it's not the totality.
- projectileboy 16y agoBig, huge upvote to your Digital River comments. Dealing with their shopping cart sites is maddening at best. They're ripe to get picked off by a capable startup.
