If you are upgrading to Windows 7 from XP you will need to do a clean install, and installing your favorite apps again is time consuming and annoying. Today we look at a new service that will install your favorite applications while you walk away and do something more enjoyable.
Volery is a cool new service created by two programmers in San Francisco who believe that installing software shouldn’t require work. It’s simple to use and has a large selection of popular freeware and open source applications. Just pick the apps you want to install, download the Volery installer, then walk away and do something fun while it does all the work for you. The service installs the software with default settings and says “no” to any extra crapware (like browser toolbars) the installers might try to sneak in. Volery isn’t even installed on your system, you just use a stand alone executable to begin the install process.

Nice tool…but for someone like me who has 6 partitions (one for games, one for music, one for programs, one for my stuff), this wouldn’t really work as everything would install in C:\Program Files.

I save everything I can to everything BUT the the C: drive so when I have to reformat (for example when I went to Windows 7 last week), I just wiped out C…and all of my other partitions stayed put. Didn’t have to burn all my music, etc. onto discs to have them for W7.

Seems pretty sweet.

Have you tried it yet?

No use for it as I don’t want anything installed with ‘defaults’. I did open the page and it looked good.

I think ill test it out sometime next week on a VMWare at work
