In short, Ninite's an essential tool for anyone staring at a fresh computer. Each machine is a row and each app is a column. A Brand New Interface The new Ninite Pro lets you manage your software in a live web interface. Its an easy way to get a real-time interactive view of all your machines. For businesses there's even a subscription version where you can perform offline installs without having to visit the Ninite website. Install the lightweight Ninite Agent on your machines and they instantly appear on the web for simple point-and-click management. It's incredibly simple to use and takes a lot of pain out of installing a new PC. Each unattended installation is performed with default settings, although 'extras', such as annoying toolbars, are not installed. One of the really clever things about Ninite is that you don't even have to select which version of the application you want (32-bit or 64-bit), as it automatically downloads the correct one for your operating system. There's also a large range of other applications including Flash, OpenOffice, Steam, 7-Zip and CDBurnerXP. These include, Chrome and Firefox web browsers Skype, Google Talk and Messenger IM clients iTunes, Spotify and VLC media applications Paint.NET, Picasa and GIMP photo editors and Security Essentials, AVG and Avast security suites.

All of the applications, bar the Microsoft Office 2007 Trial Version, are free or open source, but within this there's a ton of software that most PC owners will want.
