Microsoft Is Crazy - WTF is this live installer shit?!?

To download MSN Live Messenger, you have to:
  1. Visit Microsoft's website;
  2. In the live services page, uncheck all the annoying options such as 'use live search as default search' blah blah;
  3. Download a "live installer" - it's not what you want, dude;
  4. Open it and uncheck some annoying options such as 'set msn to homepage' blah blah;
  5. "Preparing to install"... wait, what are you installing, man? Messenger? Sorry, no;
  6. A list appears with some shits like msn toolbar... OK, let's check msn messenger now.
  7. Downloading... and probably you'll fail because that shitty live installer wanna put itself on your desktop. Whatever.
  8. Run it again... and then installing... Microsoft rules, man.
Microsoft makes installing a software three or four times more complex to show that currently they are in charge, because if they are not, no one will give a damn of what they are doing. BTW, to install an IM client, in OS X you only need to download and run the adium installer, and in Ubuntu 'sudo apt-get install pidgin' will do the trick - btw iChat and Pidgin should be already in your OS. So ridiculous.
