Command line?

Watch how an application installs *itself* when you
buy it from some online app store, such as Apple's.
They have raised the bar. (And there's your oligopoly.)

Imagine a statically bound executable program that takes care
of its own installation. There's an icon. Fist click means
"install". After that, all other clicks on the same icon mean
"run".

But there still is dynamically linked code. I wish there was a
timeout built into the DLLs.
