This is just one person's anecdotal experience, but: when I first saw ninite, I thought "yeah I'll definitely use that next time I reinstall". Then I promptly forgot about it.<p>I've probably reinstalled 8-9 times since then.<p>I think part of the problem is the name, which is hard to remember - have you experimented with more literal domain names?
This may or may not be useful advice depending on the direction of the software... but this technology could make for the basis of great enterprise software. Everyone I've ever met who manages a Microsoft SMS / System Config Manager in an enterprise always seems to hate it. There's definitely a need for a simple way to manage and deploy software in an enterprise setting.
i understand the utility of their application, but I see this as worse than a seasonal type application. I mean how often do we need to reinstall a lot of software at one time. Also I saw spotify on the list.. might cause some confusion for US users.
This is the first time I've seen Ninite, and indeed it seems truly handy for those on Windows.<p>(of course on Debian/Ubuntu one can use:
dpkg --get-selections | grep -v deinstall > prevpackages.may10
sudo dpkg --set-selections < prevpackages.may10 )<p>How do I remember the site name next time I am reinstalling Windows at my mother in laws?..<p>Ninite - what mnemonic device shall I use to refresh my old grey cells?
