You didn't have to install the whole package. All you had to do was pick
the components you wanted, or uncheck the ones you didn't want. I didn't
install anything except the mail and news clients and left the rest in
the package.

Yes that is what I would have expected (and was led to believe).
But I examined every option offered and none of them included
the ability to download/install selective apps. :-(
Sometimes I wonder if MS got rid of all of their usability experts.

Did you get it here? http://download.live.com/
You can individually choose the components you want instead of downloading
the whole package.

Yes. That is where I got it. I don't know that is is available
anywhere else?

On that page, there is only one [Download] button.
There are no selection options for which program you want.
The only option is for language.

Yes. that's right. Download the file, and when you double-click on it, THEN
it gives you the options of what modules to install.
