I've been using this tool and really loving it, saves a ton of time especially when you're setting up new PC's. Its an auto app/program installer and updater, best of all its FREE! Currently only available for PC's but they have plans to make a MAC version as well.
Ninite.com
Note: DO NOT install this on any PC's that you are using to spy for PPV because it automatically blocks toolbar and adware installs.
Enjoy!
cool..will save me a lot of time on my next reinstall..thanks for the share!
why not use ghost to make an image of working pc & configuration ? you can have a functiona pc within 30 minutes
Sorry man, I have no idea what ghost is so I can't comment. I use Ninite to install and update all my apps and programs now and I recently had to download and update a bunch of programs and apps for a new comp and it saved me a couple of hours of sitting at the comp. Use it a your leisure, I'm sure there are better tools out there, I happen to like this one though.

Hmmm I don't think these things do the same thing man, Ghost is $70 and its back up and recovery software if I'm not mistaken. Ninite is free and it just auto installs and updates apps, to each their own I guess, I'm sure it works well for you =)
the Ninite Updater is really handy..just bought it
Fantastic recommendation :-)
