Any reduction in disk space would be temporary.

I don't know about the rest of the world, but I appreciate software 
that can be installed into it's own directory tree and not use any 
disk space under c:\windows and if possible not use any registry entries.

This makes the all important uninstall a simple 'deltree'/'rm -rf' 
command.  If everyone did it that way, my registry wouldn't be over 
3MB and I wouldn't have hundreds of garbage files in the C:\windows 
tree.
