if you’re gonna do a fresh windows install…

found this online yesterday; basically you check the programs you want and it makes a script which automatically downloads and installs all the programs you selected, which is very nice and time-saving.

Sexy find.

 

If integrated into the post-install section using a slipstream this could most definately produce massive amounts of win. Too bad where I currently work would never let me do that.

 

Or use the program at all…

I saw that post on Gizmodo yesterday…

Already used it on my Windows 7 install, it works really well =)

Is this wise to use on machines which “may” be infected?

I mean it wont hurt… it really just downloads the installers for those programs and auto installs them using the default settings… no different than you downloading/installing the computer yourself except this way is faster (cause its automated)

 

I have been using it at work today to install firefox, thunderbird, adobe reader, flash, java, silverlight, and .net on new windows 7 installs and it takes less than 5 mins total.

Does it pick up all 32 bit software?

 

Edit: I read on and they are expanding to 64 bit.
