AllMyApps is a sexy download store for Windows
The Mac App Store is coming next month, but Windows users have a similar store they can enjoy right now. AllMyApps has just launched in beta, and it's ready to help you find, install, and share loads of great free (and eventually paid) software.
Apps are grouped by category such as utilities, security, office, video, and communication and you'll find just about every must-have free Windows app you can imagine in the AllMyApps catalog. Favorites like Firefox, Chrome, Skype, Dropbox, 7-zip, and Microsoft Security Essentials are all there for the downloading. The only one of my core apps I found absent was Sugarsync -- all of my other required apps are listed.
Program detail pages include basic information about their functionality, screenshots, relevant tweets, and other useful tidbits like the app's current version, number of downloads, and file size.

You'll need to install the AllMyApps desktop client in order to get the install ball rolling, but it's tiny, uses barely any resources, and is also totally free.

Why is it styled like an OSX app? That just seems really strange.

I still like Ninite.com better. It does the same thing but you don't need to sign up or install anything.

@RMN
I concur, ninte so much better than this.
I so much hate all the new fab with signing up ..... with facebook, twitter bs.
I have started this habit of closing any page I am browsing and at the point
some signup page pops up esp. when I want to ddl something. such as this.

How is this any different from the other gazillion sites with software for windows? is not, just another fancy name for download.com but with less content

What's about toolbars and searchbars? Ninite installs the apps without this things. Does AllMyApps this too?

Lame. NiNite does the same without the pointless sign on.
