This is correct. In most places I worked so far the only way to  
become admin/root is to bring along your own computer. On the other  
computers, the OS is usually already there and installing something  
into /Applications gives you nothing.

Well designed apps work just everywhere and most third party apps do  
so. "Drag and drop the application to where it's convenient for you"  
is the usual installation recommendation.

If you insist on having the same acceptance as Apple's Mac OS X  
bugfix releases, you've already lost, IMHO.
