One of the reasons I got my newly installed system ready for use in record time was partially due to the speedy installation of Windows 7 and also the fast copy of all my data back to the internal hard drive. But the real time to get a machine back to a usable state is spent installing all those small applications one needs on a day to day basis. Microsoft Office is standard fare, but MSN Messenger, Google Talk, iTunes, IrfanView and many others require a search and download of the latest version and then the installation.

Now, a very convenient solution is at hand: Ninite. Select the products to be installed from the extensive list and download the installer.

Then simply run it and wait for it to complete. Ninite seeks out the very latest versions of the selected applications, downloads and installs them without further ado.

It’s a huge time saver and a great idea. If there are any applications you can’t find in the list, the developers are quite happy to add them. Try Ninite when next you have a number of applications to install: it’ll save you a heap of time.
