Re[2]: Bug report: don't display changelog by default after installation

Hello!

AS> This isn't a matter of preference, it's a user interface problem. If
AS> you want the theory of it, it goes to the principle of least
AS> astonishment - a user that has never heard of a changelog before would
AS> be less astonished by not having one thrown at them without their
AS> specifically asking for it. A user that specifically wants a changelog
AS> would not be at all astonished by having to ask for one, although they
AS> would be slightly inconvenienced.

AS> If changelogs by default are that important to advanced users, how about
AS> enabling it only for reinstalls, or having a registry setting to
AS> remember the setting from the previous install? That way, you'd only
AS> have to tick the box once ever, then forget about it.

AS> - Andrew

  I concur.
