If you click the small grey blob in the top right hand corner, the window in which the dmg contents are shown becomes a standard, metal Finder window. Most people have Applications in the left hand shortcuts bar and can just drag the app across.

    This does not always work well. As I said in the article, the window may move partly off-screen or the item you want to drag to Applications may move past the right edge of the window. Exactly how the window resizes when you click that button varies between various Mac OS X versions, but so far I have not found any one in which it's always useful.

    Sure, but this does not give you any control over the appearance of the window (like nice backgrounds) and it requires action by the user. I think the original idea is really neat.
