Turns out that everybody wants to emulate Apple with its App Store success and next up HP has announced the launch of its HP Download Store which aims to make things easier for netbook users without a CD-ROM drive, though it’ll work fine for your incredibly-specced gaming desktop as well. The store offers a place for users to buy software online, and while it might be a tad more expensive than other places, the apps are re-downloadable for up to two years, which makes it seem like a better deal. There is currently a promotional code on the site offering you a $20 discount until the end of May.
