They've changed to an new Installing system, an easier to use and make changes (for them).
I'm using it on my software aswell.
It's not really what an normal user thinks about.

I downloaded and installed the Beta 2 and I will eventually like it. The only thing I don't like is the fact that none of my extensions work completely. They did update my two themes and SU works but is lacking a couple of features. It's been pretty stable. There's one Java chat that tends to crash it but nothing else seems to phase it. (That's as opposed to my IE which crashes about five times a day since I installed the Windows Live Toolbar Beta.) It's going to be great once they start getting the extensions updated.
