Default How come you don't have to 'install' video games?

This one has always confused me.

With console discs, you just pop in the CD (eg. Halo) and start playing.

With a PC, you have to install something -- even a bare 2MB -- of a program to the HDD before using a CD.

(The exception is the Ubuntu LiveCD...is that what consoles use?)

For the sake of argument, let us keep saved games, profiles, etc. out of the discussion.

Would it be possible to make PC games like this in the future?

Thanks in advance,
