Have you ever reformatted your own PC after a few years? Most people, I think, have. Doing so does have it's advantages, you end up with no clutter, no "dodgy films" and, most importantly, it feels like your PC is new again.
It also, unfortunately, has it's disadvantages. You have to cope with Internet Explorer (assuming you've reinstalled Windows). You have to use IE to navigate to the page of every one of your favorite tool, download them all, then begin the somewhat tedious process of installing each app separately. At least, that was the case until Ninite came along. Ninite, as the site explains, allows you to choose from (hang on a second, counting...) 75+ applications, ranging from Google Chrome to CCleaner. After you choose your programs, Ninite forms an installer that contains all of them and, when you run the Ninite installer, each app is installed. Literally, all you have to do us run Ninite, then pop off and have a marmalade sandwich or something. This program, quite frankly, is genius.
Score: 8/10
+ Makes reformatting much easier
+ Has a decent selection of apps, and the opportunity to suggest apps.
- Like most things , charges too much for a "pro" version
- Impossible to use without internet access (unless you shell out for the pro version)
