<whine> Microsoft, could you PLEASE make these easier to download? Use your Download Manager, provide a copy-n-paste’able direct download URL list, something! Downloading 19 RAR parts via the “Download” buttons is weak. If you really want us to play with these, then you HAVE to make them a little easier to get.  The fact that I’m thinking about writing a MS Download Direct Download URL Lister/Grabber thing is… well… sigh…</whine>
