    Not to be a dick but still a really horrible idea with no real practical or logical reasoning behind it. It's like an idea a highschool kid had to make people think he was cool.

    I'd sit here and post 3 pages of every reason this is a horrible idea and a complete waste of time, not to mention the weeks it would take to download that much even with premium accounts. I mean your talking like 100+ gigs and "customized" kontakt libraries that only people with your specific tastes would use.

    I mean you may get a few people try to dl it out of curiosity but for the size... It just seems your gonna be spending a whole lot of time for something no one will ever use in the end. Not to mention all the legal problems from 30 different directions.

    I wanna see just 3 out of those 9 people dl that whole monstrosity. Get it all to work and then realize half of its out of date or is of no use to them.

    Like I said I'm really not trying to be mean but it's just a horrible idea. You'd be better keeping it all separate and just having all the links on the same page.

    Seriously [facepalm]...

    I appreciate your feedback, but I really can't see it that way. Just saying "this is not a good idea because there are a million reasons I can't list" really does not convince anyone of your view point. What I think you should consider are the poll results. Taking into consideration that the users who "might" use this and "will" use this, we can see that it outnumbers those users who "will not" use this. I have to say, I think the poll results say otherwise.

    And as for wasting my time, I absolutely don't see it that way. This is something I can really see myself using in the future, and it would save me a lot of hours configuring and tweaking Windows. AIO makes a lot of sense to me, but I'm open to your view point if you still think otherwise. Outdated sample packs? Not really that common, and what is easier: re-installing 16 different libraries via NI Authorization service or a one-click install with the possibility of a couple library updates?

    Legal issues aside, I have to say I still think AIO makes sense. Please convince me otherwise.
