This isn't something I would do; I know that every tool has its use. I basically own the website and wanted to do a PHP/MySQL site, but we are under contract to use .Net and my supervisor wants to not do anything that could be considered a breach of contract. However, now that I'm using Linux as my main operating system I am constantly being reminded of how the different philosophies between the operating systems affect me. Ninite is a great tool, but installing everything I want from packages is simply awesome. And of course, Linux systems don't need to be restarted in order to apply updates, but on Windows you always need to. This is why I have to possibly go to our data center tomorrow morning if the Server 2008 box our database is on doesn't come back up for remote access when I update it tonight.
