There are some bad bugs in older Windows versions, but we were always able to diagnose and work around them. It's part of the value Conveyor provides. We have it working now and the results are pretty good: fast installs and uninstalls (as long as there isn't a lot of latency to the web server), especially if you already have the files locally, background or check-on-start updates, management from the CLI, group policy, MSIX Hero and so on.
The alternatives are also not that great. I looked at many. Some are buggy, some are abandoned, some require complex server-side logic etc. The situation on Windows is far from ideal; it speaks to the general neglect of the platform. Nonetheless with a tool that works around or 'polyfills' issues MSIX can work well.
