Ask HN: Is there a viable business in this?

1 pointsby smarterchildabout 15 years ago
Hi all,<p>I just set up a new Windows installation and I had a thought about a new product:<p>When I set up a computer, I have to install somewhere around 40 programs to get everything back to where it was beforehand. I've been looking around for an automated solution, but it looks like most of the software out there is either partial (you can only pick certain programs) or custom (you have to set up a list of programs by hand). It'd be nice if I could pick from a comprehensive online list of software and get an installer that would set everything up.<p>I know I'd use it personally, but I probably wouldn't pay much for it. So I was wondering: Does anyone (particularly in IT) know if there's a business market for it? There are similar solutions (cloning, ninite), but nothing that I've found that quite does what I want...<p>Thanks!

Why doesn't cloning do what you want?
