I would suspect that you are paying for the installer more than the
software.
After all even with the progress made on making installs easy you need
look no
farther than this list to see that it is not without challenges and Dell

more
than click OK.
Hmmm Wonder if they are hiring, Austin is a pretty kewl place to live.
