Yeah, but two wrongs don't make a right, especially when you consider how many people are fooled by the omission of desktop and/or quicklaunch icons. You expect them to be there, and when you find the installer apps, many assume that's them. But of course it's not. And, it's not well explained in a readme or anythng else, either. IMO it should be a priority to make such a simple change to the installer. I noticed v 3.0 put, I think, the quick starte icon on the desktop; good move IMO, long as they keep it.
