WinGet gets new "configure" command to allow fast developer machine installs/configurations

Microsoft has just announced something interesting: an extension to the WinGet package manager that allows you to install applications based on a pre-configured list, but also configure Windows operating system settings to your liking. For instance, setting up developer machines requires often a lot of little tinkering, so the WinGet Configuration feature can be of great aid. It reminds me a lot of HashiCorp's Vagrant tool (now part of IBM).

Altough it's not clear from the announcement post just exactly how, WinGet Configuration is able to utilize PowerShell DSC (Desired State Configuration) which allows a similar thing (making sure a system matches a configuration), but is more oriented for servers.

In any case, the WinGet Configuration looks like to be a nice tool. I'll definitely test it on some virtual machine to see how it works.
