   no you don't, and you keep insisting that it's not possible.

   what part of 'nothing needs to be installed' was unclear?

   nope, and with multi-terabyte hard drives being standard, even if   
   someone did choose to install 'hundreds of megabytes of software',   
   that's still just a tiny drop in the bucket. it won't even be noticed,   
   and all of the extra functionality it provides makes it well worth it.   
   however, it's still optional.   
      
   you are stuck on doing things in the most difficult way possible.
