Any user running as a "restricted user" under windows XP for example will not be able to install which we should assume is the default setup for most enterprises (and sensibly setup home networks also).

Some of these computers didn't belong to me though so I used it while I was working on that computer because it just seems to work always. Once I left that computer though the owner would not know to use it and for the library computers at my school the just get re-formated and re-imaged weekly. My point is not every down load is a new user an these percentages for new users is most likely alot higher then you think. I know i have downloaded fire fox on a number of computers myself.

Given that people have downloaded something indicates that they are interested in using it - why then, would 43% not even install it?

That would be computers in companies. Computers that are not in regular use like servers or computers dedicated to other use. Computers that are later used on local networks disconnected from internet at large. I have some idea why you have so big drop-off after first day. That would be computers in companies.
