You over-estimate the typical Windows user's technical self-confidence.
Putting a CD in the drive, figuring out how to find the icon for it and
double clicking on "SETUP.EXE" is adventurous enough to break out a cold

Anyway he's selling other packages like Open Office, which I certainly
wouldn't want to download here (IDSN) and the Gimp which is also fairly
sizeable.
