Alright, lets continue your communication tutorial.

It wasn't a mistake, it could've been more explicit had I known you'd have a nervous breakdown if I didn't carefully craft it to keep you from misinterpreting it.

"Most people using the tool probably don't care to save 1k --- and like the bootdisk makers, those who do will have and know how to use UPX, whereas everyone else will now have to locate/download UPX to decompress."

There's three things to note:

1. See that "everyone else" wasn't the start of a sentence. It's referring to everyone who doesn't wish to save 1k for adding the [circumstancial/minimal] risk of a crash/problem.

2. "Everyone else" implies a great many things that should not need to be explicit, for example, it excludes those non-DOS users who will never download or use your drivers.

3. Consider "to decompress" as another constraint --- everyone else who wishes to decompress. I didn't say "everyone else who wishes to use the driver will have to download UPX."
