Enterprises have needs and I can understand how a product team would make one choice over another.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I&amp;#39;m just a little bit tired of listening to all of these best practices lectures from members of the Cult-Of-Microsoft and then see one of their own go and do their own thing. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In this case I&amp;#39;m sure the defense will be &amp;nbsp;the `Microsoft is a big company` argument. &amp;nbsp; Yet if someone outside of the firewall does it we hear how horrible they are. &amp;nbsp;Still worse is if they were to use InstallShield to do it &amp;nbsp;because then we would hear `InstallSUCK` or something similar when Macrovision didn&amp;#39;t even have anything to do with it.&lt;/p&gt;
