The installer we use for our software (Install Anywhere, I believe) doesn't
use a backdrop. Personally I prefer no backdrop. I, too, like the 2.7
installer. It looks so sharp!

It seems that WiseInstall and InstallShield use a backdrop behind their
install window, but I like the way Rev's 2.7 installer doesn't presume you
have nothing better to do that watch the progress bar.
So here's the question: Is the backdrop used by so many professional
installers really just a useless holdover, or is there some benefit to
having it that I'm not seeing?
If you were building your own installer would you use a backdrop? If so, why?
