I believe the offering to open a program after install -used- to be a
feature. A possible (?) issue with that, that I see, would be when
installing libraries or the likes. For those it certainly wouldn't make
sense to offer to open. In other words, how are you going to determine
whether what you just installed is meant to be run at all?

As for your first idea, I remember XP having that feature too and often
being wrong/keeping it highlighted well after install. Was rather annoying!
Something to keep in mind :o
