<strong> I don´t like the smoothed text rendering (quarz) but you can disable it.

I'm glad you can disable it because it looked horrible with it on.
And in true MS form, it changes your homepage and some of your default preference items as well.
I've got several apps processing data that I'd rather not quit now (lest I lose several hours of work). Why on earth should the installer need to quit all of my apps? This should be a straightforward drag-and-drop installation. Nothing more.
Stupid InstallerVISE software!
Stupid Microsoft!
