What about people that don't have network access? Either
because the are in<br>
developing countries or in enterprise environments that
don't allow random<br>
downloads?<br>
<br>
I thought that was the main argument for standalone
installers.<br>

I think there is still a strong argument for having
standalone installers - even when there is internet, it
can often be slow and downloading QGIS (or worse multiple
users downloading it in a training session) can often be
difficult. </div>

<p>I'd go one step further and say, that we should advertise the
standalone installer as myin installer and the other as advanced
option. The user experience with the standalone is soo much
better!</p>
