We have much the same functionality at http://PortableApps.com/ http://PortableApps.com/ You get an app store, an automatic app updater, an app manager, and hundreds of freeware and open source apps. All free of malware and bundleware.
As a bonus, all the apps run from a single directory each, making it easy as pie to uninstall and remove all the apps settings at the same time (as opposed to bits left behind in AppData, Local AppData, the Registry, your Profile directory, etc). And they're portable, so you can run them from a cloud drive (DropBox, Google Drive, etc) that's backed up and synced between machines or from a USB drive.

- johansch 12y agoI love the functionality of portableapps.com! The web design does need some work though... :/ It's really way too visually cluttered. Somehow my brain has been trained to think "be careful" when I see clutter like this on a web page.
- JohnTHaller 12y agoIt's cluttered and dated, sadly. We have a new design about ready as part of our Drupal 8 upgrade but had some issues upgrading to it. I'll be making another attempt soon.
- jayess 12y agoWow, what a great site. Thanks for this link!
- codereflection 12y agoThis is great, especially considering the main download for an app like FileZilla from Sourceforge contains extras in the installer.
