I have several problems with "professional" versions of TheOpenCD:

1) This is the big one. The sort of people who would want to use Apache, mySQL (PostgreSQL is better IMHO anyway, but I won't get in to that as it doesn't have a Win32 version), etc are the kind of people who *already* know where to get them and how to install them.

2) It's confusing for the end user.

3) Too much more work.
