I have written installation notes for Macs, PCs and Unix, and have
watched the evolution of InstallShield and InstallAnywhere programs to
the point that the user should be making very few decisions, and
therefore few mistakes.
Still, when my son buys a game or I buy a peripheral for our Macs, I
can't help but notice that Windows installation notes are 2-3 pages
longer than the Mac ones.
