Comment:

 FYI: http://petsymposium.org/2012/papers/hotpets12-1-usability.pdf lists
 "archive confusion" as the 4th most common "stop issue" that prevented
 people from using TBB. They tested only Windows 7, which uses the self-
 extracting exe, which I would have actually guessed as easier to figure
 out than a zip? Even in the best case, it's the same user activity though:
 Click on exe/zip, lose track of extraction folder, get confused.
