It has been pointed out many times now that there are various
scenarios where "installing as we speak" isn't going to work. It's not
going to work when you're using a school or university workstation.
It's not going to work when you're offline. It's not going to work on
the computer running Ubuntu that I set up for my mother and brothers.
It's not going to work for the laptop running Windows XP that my
grandparents are using as non-admins.
