>... but those "next" steps are there because there is important information there. The OSX ecosystem would generally care to differ with you there, where the standard installation process is to drag a .app slightly to the right in the dmg that auto-mounts and auto-opens and shows you exactly what to do. Then you run it if you feel like it. Or even run it right from that window, it usually works, and quite a few applications will even detect it and offer to move themselves to your applications folder. Contrast this with a very common Windows install, which is run -> tell where to extract -> skip welcome screen -> uncheck shortcuts and start menu -> install -> uncheck 'run now' and 'show readme' -> click 'finish'. Sometimes there is important information in those steps. Very frequently there is not, and it's just a waste of time, and an annoyance. Just like the 'welcome' screen in those installers. Nearly all of that could have been done in one page, instead it's split into several, literally training people to just keep hitting next.
