    The quality of files are undeniable. It is MUST-HAVE for gamers.

    But the size of installer is big, while Microsoft did not remove superseded (version) files.

    Yes you do need the redistro if you want to ensure that all components that can be updated are, the web installer has a habit of missing some components in my experience, its best to just grab the latist redistro installer when it comes out and save it incase you endup needing it :)

    note: this is a must if you play games.

    Get the web installer instead from their homepage. For my Windows 7 x64 installation it downloaded a whooping 1MB instead of the huge redistributable.

    "you can't live without this."

    Sure you can. In most cases the game/tech that requires this will include it anyway and install for you.
