Personally, I hate this attitude. Using a big corps walled garden just for a tiny bit of convenience. With just a tiny amount of effort you can find reputable places to download software. But most people have your attitude and now pc's have become like consoles, where a big corp monitors all your activity and decides what you can and cant do with your machine, and the idea of the pc as a personal universal computing machine is dying. Reminds me of the Benjamin Franklins qoute "Those who desire to give up freedom in order to gain security will not have, nor do they deserve, either one." Just replace security with convenience. Also, yeah thats super melodramatic, but it is qualitatively the same imo.
