Win 7 was the last version of Windows I used with any regularity, so I'm also a bit behind in that regard. I used Ninite a fair bit back when I used to mess around with PCs, and it was super helpful and neat. I think those days are a bit behind me now though.
In fact, the thought of having to wipe OSs and stuff makes me really want to just go and do something else, anything else, instead.
