Is a SIMPLE installation possible?

I know most of you can install 8 cores with 4 vid cards in your sleep, but I know a few people
who don't know how (or care to) install and manage multiple cores. My nephew happily installed
the single core and left his other core empty.

It would seem to me that if the installation was simpler to install and manage (by Joe six-pack)
you would have more users folding away.

Yes, I know there are easy instructions everywhere, but the normal computer user has no
patients for anything but Install and Run.

We share your sentiments. A simple, single core installation exists right now (presumably that's what your nephew did). A simple multi-core installation does exist on Macintosh OSX (the installer) and the linux multi-core isn't all that hard either.

However, a simple multi-core Windows install does not exist right now, but we are working on it, after dealing with some challenging aspects of the Windows multi-core code.
