Squeak is a product but it just happen to be free-of-charge. Having multiple downloads to get Squeak running and going is a major hurdle for newcomers. It will make the curious go away. Curiosity is often not strong enough to be persistent and go through the hurdles. Then it turns in a no sale.
It may not be the most practical approach but it's a hell of a good thing to get newcomers.
Indeed. Easy and fast acquaintance is what a one-click images should serve for. Everything else is secondary and can be explained/uncovered once you hooked in the user.
Given that everyone seems to agree, can someone take a stab for providing such an installation for 4.1? It'd be easy enough to put up on Squeak.org for first-time users.

Agreed. Let's build it. But Amazon marketing be damned, please don't call it "1-click". Makes me cringe every time.
Actually ... I just made one. Only tested on Mac and Linux-i686, but chances are it works on Windows, too:
