That baffling is nothing compared to what a typical Windows user is used
to (and I'm assuming our targeted audience, here, is primarily Windows
users).  Everytime one installs an application he's expected to read a
EULA far uglier than that "baffling".

I would say that it is quite important to at least make some note,
giving the user some small reason *why* he cannot have these things
working as is.  Many will not care; most will, at least in a
half-conscious manner, absorb these facts, as they continue to make the
download so they can play their stuff.
