Yesterday I've got a private bug report that windows installer does not 
create sysdba user. I did not believe it, but decided to test beta2 - 
and was very much surprised.

Windows installer still suggests as a default to provide legacy 
authentication. For how long do we keep insecure choice as a default? We 
may keep that check-box, but let's leave it blank, and on an attempt to 
check it provide a message like - this choice is insecure, please use it 
only if you understand well what are you doing. Strong passwords and 
wire encryption will not work with this check-box checked!

Well, I've unchecked it and continued installation. And found no sysdba 
user after successful (no error messages) completion of install process.

I suggest to have that issues fixed better sooner than later.

Alex.
