It doesn't make any sense. He contradicts himself. If you bought a computer in the store (not tech savvy) then you are fine. If you built your own computer (tech savvy) then you can't figure out the bios settings?

Just to be clear, I was very clear with them during our conversation that it would only happen if they committed to keeping the spirit of AppGet (which they did) I might be wrong, but I don't think to have MS behind a project like that

Author here, Because it's sure to come up here is a comment I wrote on Reddit that clarifies somethings, I haven't updated the original article since I'm not sure what the etiquette for updating a highly shared article is. --

I really doubt it was it. Sonarr was one of the topics we talked about during the first meeting at Microsoft Vancouver. Even if that was the case, I have no regrets.

There are a few :) AppGet doesn't use custom scripts on install; everything is defined by data (YAML files). The client uses the data in the manifest and knows how to deal with different installers. This alone makes appget more secure;

I've been trying to solve this for windows, take a look at https://appget.net if you use windows.

You couldn't access _some_ AWS servers for a _period of time_, and you think it's equivalent to people in Iran, Cuba, etc. being completely blocked out of GCP? And the only difference is marketing?
