Package Manager for all Windows programs
They say that a unified package management system is one of the main advantages of Linux over Windows. According to some experts, this is one of those aspects where the free OS has revolutionized the software market. Microsoft still has nothing of the kind.
Surprisingly, Windows package managers have to be done by third-party firms. For example, the other day Secunia released the package manager of the Corporate Software Inspector (CSI) 4.0 , and in the new version it integrated with the Windows Server Update Service (WSUS) and System Center Configuration Manager (SCCM).
Now you can automatically update Adobe Reader, Flash, Java, Firefox and Skype, as well as 2300 more programs under Windows. With the help of special tricks, this package manager manages to install other people's patches through the WSUS system. Pleasure is worth a lot (even the price is better not to call it).

I wonder if Microsoft can make such an update system a part of the OS? What is stopping her?
