微软(某种程度上)打造了一款Ninite替代品

内容总结:

微软近日推出名为"应用套装"的全新一站式安装服务,用户现可通过微软商店官网勾选多达32款常用软件,仅需一次下载即可完成所有程序的自动安装。该服务采用微软商店作为安装渠道,未来所有软件更新均通过商店自动完成,极大简化了传统安装流程。

与第三方工具Ninite相比,这款官方工具在便捷性和后续维护方面具有优势,但应用数量仅为Ninite的三分之一,且暂未收录Chrome、Firefox等主流浏览器。目前提供的应用涵盖社交、媒体、工具等四大类别,包括Zoom、Photoshop、抖音桌面版等跨平台应用,也集成了任务栏美化工具TranslucentTB等实用程序。

行业观察人士指出,这款预集成安装包虽在应用丰富度上仍有提升空间,但其"一键部署"的特性将有效提升新设备初始化效率,标志着微软在提升用户体验方面迈出重要一步。

长久以来,Ninite对于新电脑用户而言堪称神器。通过这个平台,只需点击几下就能批量安装应用程序,无需逐个下载安装程序。Ninite更以操作简便著称:既无需学习软件包管理器,也不用输入命令,只要访问官网勾选所需应用,下载并运行安装器即可。所有安装过程都在后台自动完成,没有任何弹窗干扰——这种极致体验让我始终不解,为何微软从未推出过类似既强大又易用的工具。

如今微软终于迈出了这一步。新推出的"应用合集"(App Pack)服务与Ninite运作模式如出一辙:访问微软商店页面,从应用列表中勾选所需程序,通过单个安装器即可批量部署。不过两者仍存在显著差异。

核心区别在于,微软应用合集通过微软商店渠道进行安装,下载的安装器实质是调用商店执行下载任务。这意味着后续更新将由商店统一管理——这固然是优势,但同时也限定了只能安装商店内上架的应用程序。正因如此,Ninite的软件库更为丰富:提供超过90款跨类别应用,而应用合集目前仅涵盖4大类32款程序。

微软的立场也体现在应用选择上。由于Chrome未登陆微软商店,自然不在应用合集之列;但令人费解的是,已入驻商店的Firefox同样被排除在外。考虑到多数Windows用户的首要操作就是替换Edge浏览器,这个缺陷显得尤为突出——不过联想到微软始终不愿用户更换Edge,此举倒也合乎逻辑。反观Ninite则支持安装Chrome、Firefox、Opera、Brave等浏览器,讽刺的是,连Edge本身也包含在内。

当然应用合集并非仅限微软自家产品。Zoom、苹果系列应用(iCloud/音乐/电视)均有收录,主流社交平台(TikTok/Facebook/Instagram/Discord/LinkedIn)的桌面版一应俱全,还包含任务栏美化工具TranslucentTB和屏幕色温调节软件F.lux等个性化工具,以及Photoshop、Audacity、OBS Studio等媒体处理工具。但Ninite确实提供更多专业级应用,包括VLC播放器、WinDirStat磁盘分析、7-Zip压缩工具、Handbrake转码器等资深用户必备软件。

若您不需要这些额外工具,应用合集仍可称得上是一套多元化的解决方案。其一键安装特性预计将为众多Windows用户节省大量时间。您可通过指定链接访问该服务,或在微软商店网页版右上角点击"多应用安装"按钮即可使用。

Ninite has long been a godsend for anyone setting up a new computer. With it, you can install a number of applications in just a couple of clicks, as opposed to downloading a bunch of individual installers. Ninite is well known for simplicity, too. There's no package manager to learn or commands to type; just visit the website and pick the apps you want to install, then download and run the installer. Installations all run in the background, with no prompts. It's magical, and I've long wondered why Microsoft hasn't built anything similar—something powerful, yet easy to use.
Well, it seems like someone at the company finally got around to it. A new Microsoft site called App Pack is exactly this. It allows you to visit a page on the Microsoft Store website, check from a selection of applications, and then install those applications by downloading and running a single installer. That's exactly how Ninite works, though there are a few differences between these two options.
The main difference is that Microsoft's App Pack uses the Microsoft Store to install the applications, and the installer you download instructs the store to make the downloads. This means updates will also be handled by the store, which is a real benefit, but it also means the supported applications are limited to those offered in the store. That's part of why Ninite offers a lot more software. App Pack offers 32 applications in four categories; Ninite offers over 90 distinct applications in all sorts of categories.
But there's also the Microsoft of it all. You cannot use App Pack to install Chrome, which isn't in the Microsoft Store. But you also can't use it to install Firefox, which is. Given that one of the first things many Windows users do is replace Edge, that's a real shortcoming; given that Microsoft seems to really want Windows users not to replace Edge, it's not surprising. Meanwhile, Ninite lets you install Chrome and Firefox, as well as other browsers like Opera, Brave, and, ironically, Edge.
But it's not as though App Pack only offers Microsoft software. Zoom is offered, as are several apps from Apple (iCloud, Music, and TV). There are desktop apps for all the big social media networks (TikTok, Facebook, Instagram, Discord, and LinkedIn). And there are a few customization tools, including TranslucentTB for customizing the taskbar and F.lux for adjusting the color temperature of your display. There are also multiple apps for working in media, including Photoshop, Audacity, and OBS Studio. It's just that Ninite offers more, including power user staples like VLC, WinDirStat, 7-Zip, and Handbrake.
If you don't need these additional apps, however, App Pack is a diverse set of tools, and I could imagine the one-click install saving a lot of time for many Windows users. You can find it here or by clicking the "Multi-app install" button in the top-right corner of the web version of the Microsoft Store.
