So, the typical user would have to go out of their way *not* to have the
facility in their browser.

So, probably valid for 99.999%[1] of IE users?

Clicking "Miminal/Custom Install" instead of "Typical Install" or "Full
Install" in the ie6setup program requires *one* extra click. Hardly what
I'd call "out of their way".

As a full install of IE 6 is almost a 60MB download, I can imagine that
a *lot* of people on slower connections would opt for the smallest install
possible.

This would also go for people with limited hard drive space (e.g. older
laptops).

And as an IT bod who has had to install IE 6 about a hundred times, I
*always* go for the minimal install -- the end user isn't going to notice,
and I've saved myself a few cumulative hours of sitting in front of
an install screen.
