Was just going to reply to this thread with verbal diarrhea and abuse - 
recalling the days of downloading .exe files, running 5 virus scans on
them, praying to Bill Gates before installing, etc.. but the link puts it
quite well :-)
And really, ./configure make make install even, imo, is not nearly half as
bad as the ugly feeling in the pit of your stomach when you double-click
something and have no idea what code you're running on your machine.
Anyways - my two bits,
Sanjay
