Absolute ease of use is what they're going for and the easiest way to achieve that is to reduce the amount of information a user has to process. Bouncing around or free-form favors hiding details and relying on defaults; it's not ideal for every user, but it does lessen the information to process and thereby the time. By comparison, the old installer forced users that relied on defaults to process almost as many screens as someone that wanted to customize everything. I don't think they have the right balance, but I think they can fix it... > More information is not a problem, if it is something that is non-essential, an > "optional" label next to it should be enough.
