Hmm, I may have answered my own question. I seem to be getting by with a subset of their bloatware which only takes up 47 megs instead of 120 megs.

Still, a simple Explorer window showing me the files on the camera and allowing me to drag them and drop them onto my hard disk would be nicer than their fancy-shmancy ZoomBrowser "librarian" tool.

Then again, maybe I'll get to liking ZoomBrowser. I dunno.

On the other hand, their panoramic stitching utility is THE BUSINESS. Very cool. Two sets of stitched panoramas from today (one horizontal, a view of the landscape, and one vertical, their 15-foot decorated tree), and they look great.
