Looks good. But really, all it has is a list of the installer .exe files, and just downloads the installer (via wget) and runs it. Nothing near as good as apt-get. Still, quite useful, and definitely a simple interface for installing software. The problem here is keeping up-to-date; you'd hope that the developers update the repositories often, otherwise your "automated bulk software installer" will go around installing old versions :P

Sorry, but that's something that really annoys me :P

It can install and uninstall any software in it's repositories.its, not it's
Sorry, but that's something that really annoys me :P
