Handy to have Tridia Server installed so that external/slow access can use
the Tridia Client and get compression. Internal/fast access users will
probably prefer the floppy-sized AT&T installer (or, even better, simply
copying the ~115KB viewer executable) over the 5-6MB Tridia installer
(which also installs a Java runtime just to execute its install script, and
leaves it around so that it can execute its uninstall script later).
Technically, if you only want the viewer, the Tridia Client can also be
"installed" by simply copying the executable, but some people prefer to
have a "real" install program...
That's about the only thing I can think of.
