Re: Ninite - Post install downloadable software manager.
There's also Puppet, Chef, and CFEngine to do things like this, but those are admittedly more for the sysadmin-types. If the "Pro" version ever really gets used by a sysadmin except to post-config a bunch of Windows boxes to hand out to users, I'd be surprised. Though I've heard that Puppet's getting better at Windows all the same...
