Erm,
I just think it looks silly to ask people to download some 75 Mb's (to
RAM!) after they have just downloaded 3 Gb worth of DVD.
What do the others think? Wart? Chris(topher) ?
Are the Live DVDs installable to the hard disk? If so, then I think
they should definitely be included. Even if not, I think they should
be included. Not everyone is going to be downloading the 3GB DVD image
in order to get the DVD; people may be copying and/or sharing the DVD
with friends, giving them away at conferences, etc.
+1 for including autodownloader games.
