Read up on the Wikipedia entry today

EDIT: You can extract the contents with Winzip, but you will need to do it twice.

The biggest down side to using easy update programs IMHO.
A lot of people don't feel the need to know the entire installation process though. As long as the programs work as they should, then it's all good

I prefer to install a program manually the first time I try it out to gain the knowledge on howto do it myself, but after that I welcome a program that can take the boring task off my hands. Especially with opensource programs that have a lot of updates & bug fixes
