Well, windows is pre-installed on most desktop too anyway, and has been for
more than a decade.

The install of most major distributions (excluding at least debian, I
haven't tested all) is already pretty easy, if it is still to complicated
(or scary) for some people (and I agree that many people may be scared,
although I believe most would be able to handle it) then they should not do
it alone.
That's what LUGs and install parties are for, help people with the (more
complicated) first step.
The install of a full OS is not as easy as installing a normal program (or
even installing some system component for your actual OS) and should not be
presented as such, as there is at least the partitioning which is a risky
operation. (what would happen if the user decide he wants to stop the
install while shrinking his partition?)
