Windows package management

I love apt-get that is in Debian, it is my favorite Linux package management system, so I was happy when I stumbled upon Win-get:

win-get is an automated install system and software repository for Microsoft Windows written in pascal (for the command line client) and php for the online repository. The ideas for its creation come from apt-get and other related tools for the *nix platforms.

Recently I am not spending too much time on my Windows client installations, so I probably wont try Win-get, and stick with manually updating.

If I had more Windows clients to maintain, I most certainly would make them logon to a Samba Windows domain and use WPKG for package management.
