I went to the website to see how long it takes, and to my surprise it took longer to patch together a few screenshots than it took for me to install the programs. Volery, now named Ninite since it came out of beta testing, can install all your favorites in seconds. It got shoved out of my mind for a while, but as I think about upgrading to Windows 7 (I’m on the RC, which expires in March), I was dreading how long it would take to install my programs. It was a website that you could check little boxes and have it install your favorite programs for you. Or maybe you need to see a website, but you forgot to install Firefox/Chrome and don’t like Internet Explorer.Ī while back, I read about Volery. But installing tons of applications takes a while, so sometimes you set that aside and forget to install them, just to find you’ve got to read a PDF but you don’t have a PDF reader.

Setting up a new computer is sometimes fun.
