I think that the reason is that it's cheaper to release VOCALOIDs as download. That way you don't have to pay for the box, shipping, etc. What I do with downloads (and phisycal copies in case I loose the disc or something) is back up the installation files on an external hard drive so I don't loose them. That way if something happens I can de-acivate them on the old copmuter and install and re-activate them to the new one. (I accually had to do that eirlier this year. OTL)
