Setting up a new or reformated computer can be a real pain in the neck. Part of the difficulty comes from having to download and install numerous programs. Tech and Life has a nice overview of three sites that make that process easier, by allowing you bundle programs for download and installation. The sites are Ninite, AllMyApps, and Smart Installer Pack. For example, you could decide to download Skype, Firefox, Pidgin, and Open Office in one take. Head on over to Tech and Life for a look at the three services, including a tally of the number of apps available with each service.

Many thanks for mentioning and linking to my post.
It was written back in April and since then I see Ninite have increased their number of downloadable programs from 73 to 78 while All My Apps have dropped from 117 to 104. Smart Installer Pack remains unchanged at 51 programs.

Thanks for the update, and thanks for writing the original post. I’m about due for my annual reinstall, so it will come in very handy.
