I wish they would get rid of the absurd "mount a disk before you run an installer" paradigm. Installing an app downloaded from the web, Windows vs Mac:

Windows:

1 - Click a download link

2 - Yes, I'm sure

3 - Run

4 - Next, Next, Next, Finish

5 - Delete the setup file

OS X:

1 - Click a download link

2 - Yes, I'm sure

3 - Open a finder window

4 - Open .dmg file, and it mounts

5 - Open the mounted image

6 - Run the installer (or drag it somewhere, depending on the app)

7 - Continue, Continue, Finish

8 - Unmount the image

9 - Delete the .dmg file
