RE: an idea about Plus! language option
ahmetgns, have you actually done the sums after it's installed? Well lets do the sums;

Once installed the folder is approx. 9.58MB and the language files are approx 3.12MB. Once you put the language files (approx. 3.12MB) over the total folder size (approx. 9.58MB), and then times it by 100, you get approx.32.5678496868...
So the languages only takes up around a third of the actual program. So to say that languages takes up over 2 thirds of the actual setup program is really taking things out of proportion. Any more than say half of the setup and it's getting a bit excessive not only to mention that the sponsor program, although heavily modified, would take up a bit as well.

However, it should be stressed that we are both only basing all this setup stuff purely on theories, however, my calculation would be somewhat more realistic compared to yours which is like comparing apples (program folder) and bananas (setup file) when I'm basing my calculations based on what the program folder sizes are, and not the language folder compared to the setup file. The only time I relate it to the setup file is after all my calculations are complete and I am fully satisfied that the calculations are fully correct. Also is must be remembered that a setup files is reduced and thus even my calculation may also be out, but it may not be by as much as you

And MenthiX, what your saying is true, but the same could still happen when downloading a language file. It may be a smaller chance but it could still happen. And would be even worse if your not sure what in the world is going on, to which then the user would become frustrated and then we end up losing users and receive a bad name because of it thus, resulting in less users downloading the program.

In reality, we shouldn't be complaining for the size and the amount of languages you get with Messenger Plus! Live compared to Windows Live Messenger which only comes with one language in the setup file.
