All My Apps may not be as enticing as an official Windows app store might be in comparison to Apple’s Mac App Store, but it does offer Windows users similar features and an easy place to locate apps for their machines.

The benefits of such an app store for the Windows side of the PC world is that the service promises the applications will be free of spyware, viruses or other malware. It is also easy for someone to quickly find and download apps for a new computer or one that has been recently restored to factory state after a crash or virus infection. Also the service promises to allow users to send apps via email to others or post widgets in a blog about favorite apps discovered in the store.
