If someone could take this concept a step further and let you create a self contained process that users could download and run just by clicking (like tasks in photoshop), I could see some uses:

- Some tech support situations where you have to have a user do x amount of steps on their computer that are the same for all users. Sort of like an automated Geek Squad.

- Sell a prepackaged GTD style organization system that creates all the folders for you in the right places, downloads files (pre-made budget spreadsheet for example) into them, etc. (trivial, but it's a pain point for people)

- Make a bunch of different productivity apps that mimic the steps a professional programmer/ photographer/ marketer etc does when they first setup a new computer (bookmarks, preference settings, etc.)
