That's a false dichotomy.
Have you seen the price of teamviewer ?
If you didn't, just check :
<A HREF="http://www.teamviewer.com/en/licensing/index.aspx">http://www.teamviewer.com/en/licensing/index.aspx</A>
So if a company can give this amount of money to use teamviewer, I think
they can also spend a little to have a sysadmin able to install it.
For the others people ( ie those covered by "private use" ), that's a
tool for advanced users. Since teamviewer is likely used for remote
assistance, at least one of the participant is knowledgeable in IT.
And so the so-called "advanced users" should surely be able to download
a tarball and run the only executable in the tarball to start it.
That's not harder than doing the same on windows, and people are
perfectly able to do it.
