I understand that Kevan was relaying what people were saying, and it appears 
as though they would be considered competent users.

Kevan, does the mailing list you refer to have an archive at all?  If so then 
a reference might not go amiss.  After all if the cries to have iPlayer 
ported to other platforms is heard them others might want to see what 
people's experiences are like with it first.

Alan's comments regarding the provision of detail on what iPlayer does would 
tend to indicate that they've gone out of their way to explain what people 
should expect when they use the software.  But experience should tell us that 
even people we consider competent only really take information to heart when 
they want to.

Kevan, fair and valid point about the strength and format of EULA's, but 
something has to be there - even Open Source licences recognise this?

Are software installs/removals more or less well behaved on non-Windows 
platforms.  I honestly don't know, but I think it would be fair to say that 
there could be equally badly implemented apps installers/removers on other 
O/S?
