I agree with all your points, H.S.

When I say "the Windows way" I mean that Windows users usually try to
download and install an application from the website, without using
the repository that is a cleanest way IMHO.

So one has to point out to the new users, that a concept called
"repository" exists in Linux and it's an enormous vantage respect to
Windows application management.
