when in doubt, users will connect & download in their familiar
browser... when Sugar is running in a VM window on a big Mac screen,
it's natural to open Safari and fetch something... anyone in their
first hour with Sugar won't know immediately which icon is the browser
and if they do, they might consider reaching activities.sugarlabs.org
from within Sugar more disorienting than from their usual browser.

All we need to do is make clear what the options are, with I think the
default option being the procedure from within Sugar.

thanks

Sean
