Ninite Windows 7 Upgrade

Windows 7 has met with mostly positive reviews and a great deal of optimism by software professionals and there is no doubt that there will be a lot of users, many who will be making the change to Microsoft’s new operating system in the next couple of weeks. However, if one had to sit down and reflect, it can be alarmingly true that this could be a bit of a pain if you are stuck with Windows XP and skipped Vista, the previously launched operating system from Microsoft which failed to go down well with the users, altogether, because then the next best thing for one to do would be to perform a complete clean install after backing up all the data that has been stored on a computer and also the programs that have been saved on a computer.

Wiping out your data is one thing, but one will also need to install all the said applications from scratch again once one gets a hold of the new Windows 7 up, and get it running on a computer. It is quite the same thing, of course, for people who prefer to buy a new PC and start with only a few pre-installed programs. It could be simply none at all as well.

One can notice that installing multiple software applications can be more of a painstaking, time-consuming chore, but a Y Combinator-funded startup has just started up with a tool that aims to make the process very, very easy. And free of charge, without any cost, on top of that.

We have been beating around the bush, what we are talking about is the new software. Meet the Ninite a multi-app installer tool that’s as useful as it is simplified and easy to go about with.

Ninite has aggregated a range of popular PC applications in a range of categories on its website, and gives the option to a user to check multiple software programs and run the setup process for almost every one of them in one go. No installation of additional software is needed, and Ninite will even automatically refrain from the inclusion of toolbars and what not with the software one have opted to install. The only disadvantage that can be seen, however, is actually a feature: default settings for software programs that one has chosen to install will automatically be selected. So there is little customization you can perform during the set-up process.

Once all the selected apps have been sorted and organized, one will get a single executable file which will run all installations at a single click while one can go and relax, watch a movie or a cup of coffee. Ninite, which was called Volery when it was in private beta, is a product from Secure by Design, a YC-funded startup which discovered that people were always wishing for this type of tool when it was being marketed in the BaseShield App Store, essentially an app store for Windows apps. It is a company target and goal to make money off Ninite by incorporating in it premium features like local and domestic download caching, network share download caching and even a silent mode to paying users.
