Yea lol...and uninformative...I was like wtf? when I first saw it...

When I saw that installer, I liked it. I can't understand really what the problem with that is.

Well I love the new installer and Messenger, but they better give it 64-bit support already (in final version there is gonna be a 64-bit installer) and the possibiliy to download the different programs seperately, so without the unified installer

NOOOOO you whore!

TBH messenger being the resource hogging beast might actually need to go 64bit soon

Well I'm glad that this was one release that I was a bit slow with.  My hard drive is way too slow (stupid laptop) so if it is taking other people ages to install then it's not worth me doing it.  I'm sure the messenger team is copping enough flack about this that they are going to have to do something about it and I'll just keep my 8.5B1 until that time.

Can anyone explain to me why Messenger is so bloated anyway? like I do understand that it has a lot of features just sitting there doing nothing but they can just be waiting in separate DLLs which aren't even loaded?  I know it might mean that the nudge might take 0.01 of a second longer to start a nudge or something like that, but isn't it better to have less memory hogged so that you can actually afford the nice looking interfaces on machines on the lower end of the scale of the minimum system requirements.  Just my 2 cents on it all.

It's an IM client created by a big commercial company... it just IS bloated.

Well that's not a good enough reason IMHO.  Because they are a big company, they should have more optimized code because they have more resources.  I know that everyone's code can be optimised, you just have to look at any thread in the scripts forum to find a script that has been criticized for how it goes about something or the script itself can be optimised further but no-one has said anything.

I can understand them adding in other optional feature/programs, but why can't they then use the resources of the other, more specialized program when it comes o checking emails or something.  I seriously don't understand how there is such little integration and lateral thinking in such a large, powerful and resource rich company.
