I remember this, used extensively 10-15 years ago
Is has been superseded by winget, which has a much larger app selection and is pre installed in every supported consumer windows version
Need Firefox? Just run
winget install firefox
Now you can update everything by just typing
winget update -all
Unofficial site to browse packages and generate command line instructions: https://winget.run/
When I'm installing new machines I use https://winget.run/ to generate a batch that will download and install the couple dozen apps that I need
It's not the same thing. Winget is a fullfletched package manager. It is just for installing a custom set of applications. It's particularly friendly for people who fear the command line, but do know where to find the any key
