Of course it will make installation more convenient: its nice to see Windows finally get a feature that Linux has had for a decade (except for two typical MS "improvements": more central control and you have to pay for it.)

think steam + app store.

if my computer crashes today I know i can download all my games from steam again with all save data and settings, steam also updates each game to make sure it will run correctly on your system.
