I'm excited for it. I've been trying working on my powershell skills.

Cool a MS version of Chocolatey, right?

They are actually using the Chocolatey repositories.

Which then has me ask, do they install into non standard installation directory like Chocolatey, or do they follow the more traditional route?

That's a good question.

Will there be a OneGet -update function? If so, that would be beyond words.

[scottalanmiller]

Will this handle the whole system or just packages. Apt-get and YUM will actually move you between OS versions.

I'll resurrect this old thread.

Microsoft included OneGet inside PowerShell with Windows 10.

It uses Chocolatey repos, etc.
