Ninite

[Stephen Coates]

Did you know this was still supported and up to date? Not looked in a long time. Useful to know.

I guessed it was, but I hadn't used it in a long time. I did make use of it a few times years ago though.

Careful Steve... you are in danger of catching up with modern computing at this rate! XP is only 9 years old after all.

And here I am writing this on a Windows 7 laptop

Only 3 OSs behind now Steve, although arguably Win7 is still one of the best. Shame they just ended support.

Win 7 was the last version of Windows I used with any regularity, so I'm also a bit behind in that regard. I used Ninite a fair bit back when I used to mess around with PCs, and it was super helpful and neat. I think those days are a bit behind me now though.

In fact, the thought of having to wipe OSs and stuff makes me really want to just go and do something else, anything else, instead.

You didn't miss anything with Windows 8. It was horrible. Glad they finally listened and ditched the tiles idea and went back to a more normally Windows with 10, which actually felt more like an evolution of 7.

11 I'm not yet so sure about. Will have to give it a bit more time. It still has a few issues.

As for wiping OSs, that's fun. But I tend to mess around with Linux builds in VMs more then anything these days

I used to find it fun and I enjoyed the process of setting things up and fiddling, but now I just want things to work quickly and simply.
