Yea. And even if they do actually mange to look nice (ex: Adobe's CS5 
installers, and CS3/4, IIRC...at least on Windows anyway) they just don't 
*fit*. They stand out too much. Plus they carry an arrogant implication of 
"Fuck your settings. We think ours are better, so we're taking away your 
control over your computer."
