That is exactly what I am stating.  On Windows, they are used to
installing stuff using setup.exe and on Linux using the vendor
packaging tool.  Same for removing programs (Add/Remove Programs
and whatever the vendor tool is respectively).

I am against the current implementations of webstart.  They introduce
a parallel packaging system that isn't the same as the one already
on the user's OS.
