I totally agree.
Moreover the initial comparison is not fair: PCBSD aim (or one of its)
is to make BSD (FreeBSD in particular) easy to adopt and install, and
therefore they take care of the noobs flying to their web site. This
does not mean that NetBSD does not take care of its web sites, but it
simply means NetBSD downloaders are supposed to know what they are
doing.
Beside, having a single click download and install procedure reminds
me another operating system I don't use since a long time....
