There is also a third approach that I keep reminding people of: a
modular installer.

Whatever the approach, I'm 100% with using a way that makes installation as easy as possible, bearing in mind non-technical users and users on not-the-latest technology. It's sheer lunacy to spend all this time and effort on OS software development to then effectively restrict the pool of people who CAN use again because we didn't think through what happens when some 14 year old tries to install the X language version via her mega-slow internet connection in rural Y.

We're not all on fibre optic broadband, the latest operating system and can hold our own at some hackfest :)

According to the LO Wikipedia page, they want 200 million users (~25 m today). Well, ambitious, but an awful lot of these will have to come from non-techy non-urban non-a-lot-of-things background. So let's cater for them.

Speaking of which, has there ever been any user testing done on the OO/LO family in terms of installtion and the GUI?
