I thought it looked easy (it's goal), but I didn't like the fact that it 
felt like they were trying to sell you something everytime you clicked 
on something. I guess if you subscribe to their "software warehouse" 
service you don't have to pay for each item but then you are paying a 
monthly cost for an operating system which would suck.
