Possibly. It's not clear what or who "Joe Average" is here. I suspect that 99% of all computer users (by volume) get their s/w preinstalled. The amount of sophistication of the remaining 1% who actually struggle through so-called "spiffy" installs is growing exponentially. Keeping a simple interface rather than trying to play human engineering with no real human interfaces lab and a 500K$ testing budget might be better. Just my 2 cents... I'll shut up now...
