Recently, Microsoft added a timely new Windows Package Manager to their already stacked platform: Windows 10. The service is exclusive to a command line interface instead of the alternative interface, which revolves around the outdated us of GUI’s. While many followers of the Microsoft platform will be happy to be able to install apps straight from the command line, developer Mehedi Hassan has founded Winstall — an innovative web app using Microsoft’s package manager to bulk install all of your favorite Windows apps.

This service is going to be loved by all developers who get their hands on it because of their tendancy to regularly switch PCs. In addition, it is a great addition for any professionals who like to re-format Windows after every update, as well as anyone who wants to set up a new machine. The site lets you pick from pre-designated packs, or to create your own list of apps.

Winstall package manager is fully integrated into Windows 10 so you don’t need anything installed on a PC to get it up and running. All you have to do is download the app! Winstall writes revolutionary scripts that can be copied and pasted into the command system to run on any new machine. The service is truly exciting and is a perfect example of innovation in the tech sector!
