Nice. But for it to really be _there_, the tools should sync your present config files, directories, reg settings for each app and optionally apply them after install. I think that's where your premium account potential lies.

#25The url for BaseShield App Store (in baseshield.com) links to the download. Is this intentional? (I was expecting to see a list of applications in a webpage)

#27Would love to see a Mac version of this.
If you have to make your own install packages, look into /Developer/Applications/Utilities/PackageMaker.app. (Need dev tools to be installed)
You can bundle all your apps and installer packages into one install package that makes roll out easier.

#28This is a nice installer, but it doesn't keep programs up to date. The FileHippo Update Checker is a very small, pretty inconspicuous program that alerts me to new versions of software I have installed, which means I can turn off the Adobe, Apple, Java, Google, etc. updaters on my PC. http://www.filehippo.com/updatechecker/

Too bad it's still really annoying to turn off all those miscellaneous updaters.
