Open Source Installation Packages for Windows

Well, at least MS is acknowledging the problem: installing (not to mention developing) OSS applications on Windows is a complete pain in the ass. They have announced some vaporware to deal with the situation.

Now, if they would only take the same approach with everybody's app. Windows would really benefit from a Debian/RedHat package management system: A single place to look for applications and installers. It works for Apple's iPhone, doesn't it?
