Comment:
Our usability studies have in fact discovered that the extraction
mechanism and destination directory are a common source of confusion.
Specifically,
http://petsymposium.org/2012/papers/hotpets12-1-usability.pdf lists
"archive confusion" as the 4th most common "stop issue" that prevented
people from using TBB. They tested only Windows 7, which uses the self-
extracting exe, which I would have actually guessed as easier to figure
out than a zip? Even in the best case, it's the same user activity though:
Click on exe/zip, lose track of extraction folder, get confused.
See also #4261 for a similar issue for MacOS users.
