Let's get Chocolatey!

Chocolatey NuGet is a Machine Package Manager, somewhat like apt-get, but built with Windows in mind.

Basically it allows installing lots and lots of applications from the command line in one go!

Really useful if you mess around with various libraries and tools Or if you format often or have to do lots of installs. Seriously I am loving this :D , makes windows soo much better .Try it!
Plus it adds the application path to the PATH, which is again very useful
Note you can just install any number of apps in one go

"chocolatey install git vim Firefox "

It can be useful to me. Tfs.
Recently have to install Windows a lot of time since trying troubleshoot BSODs and installing lots of apps each time is PITA. Will surely try this.
