To be honest i think it would be better if all those smart Windows guys
come together and also work together.

If there are problems that cant be solved, it would be nice if we here
could somehow out.

Here is my reasons (it is personal):

I develop/write on Linux. Although I have a few problems with Linux
in some areas, in general Linux is a MUCH better plattform than
Windows as far as I am concerned. Writing ruby is quite easy so
my ruby stuff runs on Windows too (sometimes adapting a few things,
but in general this is a true statement).

Now, when I work with windows, I would like to have the option to
install pretty everything that I want to have on windows (which
normally is a lot). It would be great if I could fine-tune
the install. Also the download size for me does not really matter,
if its 50 mb, 100 mb, 150 mb... about a year ago i bought a 4
gig usb stick, very small, for 31 Euros. I think this is quite
cheap to not really care about the mb size anymore, so features
can go in easily as far as I am concerned :-)
(My personal ruby files are measuring a total of 17 MB files so this
is also not much)

"I don't really need the One-Click Installer anymore, and while it
provides a great starting point and all in one package, it provides more
stuff than I need, I think that others are in a similar position."

I really think the one click installer should be made more modular in
this case. It seems that the windows people are generally unhappy about
various things with Windows, and I understand all the frustration, but
for me
being a lazy windows-user it would be really better if they all get
together and design a compromise which everyone can accept :-)
