Total Size: 0. Normally a google with bing search itself takes me to the download center page, which has all but listed items of what you want to download, so that should be ok.

I am surprised, someone visits marketing site and hope to find a direct link to download, aren't we the techie who should know better? I took this as a challenge and my first attempt I did: - Microsoft. Alternatively I tried: - Microsoft. It was trivial and natural to do either of the above IMHO. So far so good. The only real thing wrong with it is that you just get the raw file names but even from that I could work it out more or less. Don't know what the MSIs at the top were for.

Looking at the full download page the "Details" section explains clearly what everything is. So if MS combined those details in an expandable section for each file and like your links Scott gave nice link text, i.

Any similarity with the heavy handed way to try to force Windows 8. In the context of the equally heavy handed tentative by the various US justice department to get access to MS servers all over the world, this is becoming a reason for rejecting MS tools and products.

I think a number of MS marketing people should be sent behind the wood shed and shot at dawn. For the good of the company. As an afterthought, this situation is seriously aggravated bu the lack of a place where I can give feedback. For instance, there is no way in W8. No way, as in no way to get even a credential prompt to fix things. This is bordering on autism. Nice one Scott. I'm guessing like the majority of dev's I simply though "this really shouldn't be this hard, should it???

I agree the Download center could definitely use a redesign. It does look a little like the download pages were designed by a team of lawyers, and is not nearly as obvious as your post. I for one never go directly to the download center either. I search for what I'm looking for and then somehow stumble on to the download page. Then after some time of searching I find the download button. I click it a dialogue pops up with many choices with a list of possible options, of which none seem correct.

I close the dialogue. I search for the secret dictionary describing the exe names. Its of course hidden in the minimized detail section on the page behind the dialog the is in my face.

I hit the download button again search for the exe name. Hope I selected the right one, and then download it. Typically I install it then realize I installed the wrong version then start the process over again. That is my typical experience with the download center. It is a tiny bit confusing to say the least. Simple improvement would be longer more descriptive EXE names or descriptions next to them on the dialog box. I would have had no idea WT means "With tools" if your post wouldn't have pointed it out.

I think your solution is a good one. I just wish the Download Center did things more like that. Thanks for making this one tiny corner of the internet a better place. Adam Wright. I hope this post makes it on to Satya's radar and he makes someone actually do something about it.

Even the Roslyn CTP, which is from Dev Div and you'd think might be straightforward, required you to download some stupid download manager in order to install it. Tom Deleu. If you could do this for the Visual Studio Express Editions, now that would be awesome! All Express downloads in one handy location!
