A Modest Proposal: A New Way To Install

From the Noodlesoft weblog:

My suggestion? When your app launches for the first time, check to see if it’s on a disk image. If so, offer to install it for them. If they accept, you copy it to Applications or wherever and restart. Done and done.

Clever idea.

Update: SuperDuper and Quicksilver both already do this.
