Awesome tools for getting all of your applications in one download

So this is pretty interesting: Google is now offering a package download of its most popular tools as well as RealPlayer (ew) and Adobe Reader. It’s called Google Pack.

I’ve always been a fan of tools that make it that much easier to get up and going on a new machine or a recently formatted one. As a power user, I end up having to clean out the old system at least every year and a half, and getting back up to speed with all the little utilities I need takes a long while. It’s nice to see Google doing this, but they need to step it up a notch, Ninite has them beat with about 60 apps, including most of Google’s!

I’d be interested in finding out if there’s any Mac equivalents to these types of services. Anyone know?
