Hi,
I just had the fun experience of trying to walk someone who's not very technical and not familiar with Tor through downloading and installing the TBB.
One element which came out was she was confused by the relationship between Tor, the Tor Browser Bundle, and Vidalia, and became frustrated by that experience. ("What's this Vidalia thing? I thought we were installing Tor!")
I'm unsure if it would be appropriate/useful to file a bug, and so would like advice on if/how to tackle this.

What did you download since you hit Vidalia? The Tor Browser has just been the browser and tor in the background for quite some time now.

That's a really good question. When I next get physical access to that machine, I'll try to figure out what happened.
