I must debate this one.

We need to comprehend the windows newbie's mind-set.

(Unless something in the Freenet mission statement has changed), the Freenet
target audience includes all basically computer-literate users.
In the Windows sector, most of these users will not be Java programmers, and
will have no use for or interest in Java per se. Most hardly even know that
Java is a programming language/environment.

95+ of available Windows downloadables (from shareware sites like
www.cnet.com, www.slaughterhouse.com, www.zdnet.com, www.nonags.com etc) are
single-file exe installers, which are completely self-contained, and come up
first go without bothering the user with *any* technical issues.

>From the perspective of basic users, this total 'black box' paradigm is the
standard on which windows software is judged.
And from basic user perspective, naming a self-contained installation
