And I can quickly think, even > without caffeine, about a few more ;-) I'm sorry if you've already been over this before: but does anyone actually use ClickOnce? The only time I've even seen it mentioned (outside of this mailing list) was on Microsoft's site. I was forced to use it to download some application, and I remember having so much trouble trying to get ClickOnce to work (even with IE on Windows) that I eventually gave up. I understand how in-browser apps (like Flash & ActiveX) are appealing, but what is the use case for ClickOnce over the standard Click Twice it takes to run a normal application? (First click download, second click to run.)
