 Replying to [comment:12 mo]:
 > I would want an installer that has a "portable" option (selected by
 default), with the Desktop as default target that opens the directory
 after installation, and a "system install" that requires administrative
 privileges to install to Program Files, creates proper shortcuts and an
 uninstaller, and offers to launch TBB after installation. I don't see why
 TBB must be harder to install and use than basically any other application
 out there. We get support questions about removal and "can't find TBB"
 nearly on a daily basis.

 Yes, please.

 I think there are two types of Tor users: (1) those who want/need to keep
 zero traces of Tor on their system; and (2) those who don't care about
 traces of Tor on their system. I'm in the latter group, and I suspect many
 others users feel likewise. The trade-off is computer illiterate/novice
 users in oppressive countries that may not realize they *need* to be in
 group 1 . . .
