According to Paul, v9.0 will have some very neet aero affects and some silverlight functionality. We'll just have to wait and see

Microsoft should let users to choose an alternative way of installing the software. That would be much more flexible and user friendly.
The good thing is that the memory usage is a bit lower.
I agree that there should be deperate installers for each product for those who don't want to use the all-in-one installer. The main initiative for the all-in-one installer is to get users to try the key Windows Live software, or at least to give the programs a try. I downloaded and upgraded: Toolbar, Sign-in Ass, Mail, Messenger, Gallery, and Writer. For me, the new installer took a total time of 7 minutes to download and upgrade compaired to a total time of 16 when the installer was in beta.
