Just got a new laptop today for work and my first stop is always Ninite.com. It’s a quick tool that lets you install a bunch of popular software all within one installer. It’s extremely efficient, accepts all the liscese terms, chooses directories, skips ads and toolbars, and gets you on your way. They keep everything updated so when you go there you get the most recent software. Here is a list of what is one their site as of today.
This list won’t be updated as new versions of software/ninite are released.
