Extremely disappointed that this installs as an "App" and not regular software program

I have nothing useful to add here other than a "+1", but I thought I'd share that I was excited by the announcement of V2 I got in an email today and contemplated buying the entire suite, so I went to download a trial to check it out. The .msix extension of the downloaded file immediately made me do a horror movie "oh no... oh no NO NO!" double take in real life.
Needless to say, I will hold off on that purchase. Offer it as an option for people who want it or even make it the default if you must, but please, have alternatives. There is nothing wrong with having the option to download an application as a simple self-contained .zip archive without even an installer attached to it, for that matter. I remember having to install, copy out the files of, and then uninstall the V1 applications because Microsoft's older yet equally stupid MSI scheme left ~600 MB installers around for each one hidden somewhere on your C drive.
