    Who's brilliant idea was this piece of, uh, work? Whatever happened to a download button or link to a setup program, where it prompts you where you want to save the file, saves the file, at which point you can run it at your leisure? Just trying to download anything anymore from MS is seriously retarded. If I do manage to get something downloaded, then it typically says I need a new version of an windows installer. Wish they would just cut there losses and realize they can't write installer programs for shit, and use a third party program. Does anyone at MS use their own shit? (Ah, that felt good. :))

      The thing that doesn't let you uninstall stuff when you have booted in Safe Mode?

      Don't attribute to stupidity what can be equally well explained by buerocracy.
