Face it – getting a new PC can be great, but setting it up takes a lot of time. If you don’t like Internet Explorer, you’ll have to get another browser. If you don’t like Windows Media Player, you’ll have to get another media player. If you need a chat client, you’ll have to grab one as well. Even with a handy-dandy list to refer to, you still have to download each and every one of the applications you want. Now with Ninite, you can literally save hours setting up your computer.

Ninite is a sort of “universal installer” for many programs designed to skip bloatware and get everything installed as quickly as possible. Travel over to the homepage and you’ll be asked to select what programs you want to install. There are many programs to choose from, and once you’re done, simply hit the “Get Installer” button. Ninite will create an installer for your needs. Run the installer in just a few clicks and your selected programs will be downloaded and installed. It’s that simple.

Ninite is free, fast, and works for both 32 bit and 64 bit Windows machines. [Ninite.com]
