"[An internet enabled disk image] improves the manual install experience by performing a few tedious tasks for the user."
http://developer.apple.com/documentation/DeveloperTools/Conceptual/SoftwareDistribution/Containers/chapter_3_section_3.html

In the case of this particular app, I have to agree. The user expectes "MyProduct.app", right? With an internet enabled image, she will find this in the default download location. I would think, as expected.

But, "Mungo only pawn in game of life", I am glad to listen to arguments telling me that internet enabled images are a work of the devil. So, if you wish to expand, please do.

I gotta say, this is really annoying. If you distribute software, PLEASE don't use "Internet-enabled" disk images. Nothing is more confusing than data deleting itself.
