Fresh Windows installation... need to install apps?

Time to go to Ninite.com. You select the apps that you want installed, download a custom .exe, which then downloads and installs everything that you selected.

Wow, this is freaking awesome... using it after updating to my non-RC copy of Windows 7.

Bravo, for your awesome recommendation. Come here you loveable person you *hug*.
I am an IT and in my opinion this will benefit EVERYONE. Not just people who do alot of installs. This is a good find if it works well.
I do however have a question/concern. Some of these apps installers try to install toolbars and adwares. Will this generated installer only install the essential apps and not include those adwares and toolbars?

The site claims those annoying things won't be installed.
