As GR said, it is like Steam, but with less functionality. They DO have a "return in 24 hours" policy, but aside from the slightly lower feature set it works very well. Certainly it is far easier to use than the Games for Windows Live store ever was. While I GENERALLY prefer Steam, the fact that Origin exists as competition to keep Steam in check is nothing but a bonus, and frankly I have no problem buying games from Origin when they're exclusive to that store.
"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
