@Rainer: That is not entirely true, as:
a) While Sun/Oracle never intended OOo to be splittable, since go-oo there has 
been work in that direction. For example, Ubuntu and Debian have these packages
split out of LibreOffice:

 https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libreoffice

b) In a default Ubuntu install, not even all of these packages are installed 
(e.g. libreoffice-base is not)
c) we are already having multiple parts to download for Windows (main app and 
help-pack)
d) For things like templates, media-wiki extension and quite a few others it 
should be doable to separate them.

As most distros do this (although not all of them as extreme as Debian/Ubuntu), 
Windows _is_ indeed the special case.

But -- and this is a big but -- unlike Linux distros, Windows (and OS X) has no 
sane default package management. Getting this implemented would require a lot
of platform specific work and would seriously increase the resources needed for 
testing as the scenarios to test explode with every added option.
