It does everything else for you.

Including a bunch of useless questions that create the need to click OK, OK, OK, OK, Next....

Just INSTALL the bloody thing already!

Do you accept the license agreement?
Where would you like to install it?
Do you want to create a Start Menu group?
Would you like an icon on your desktop?
Would you like an icon placed in Quickstart?
Do you want to install the Yahoo! Search bar in your Browser?
Would you like to set your Homepage to "www.ThisSoftwareSux.com"?
Are you ready to install?
Would you like to register your software now?
Would you like to open the ReadMe file?

Sheeeesh.

Are you talking about Windows or Linux?

I never ran into that with Linux.

Back when Mandriva was still called Mandrake, there was a fun demo you could do you with Mandrake Linux.

You needed three things: A PC that could boot from a CD, said PC either not on a network or on a network with DHCP, and a Mandrake install CD.

You dropped the CD into the drive and rebooted the machine. When the installer screen came up, you could hit the enter key 5 times and then walk away.

When you came back in 15 minutes you'd be greeted with a ready-to-go Mandrake Linux PC.

:)

I wonder why Windows makes things so hard?
