C# VB.NET ... MSFT add more snippets, but blows the install?

From Coding Horror:

Microsoft recently released a complete set of C# code snippets for Visual Studio 2005. This brings C# to parity with VB.NET, which had many more code snippets "in the box"

Unfortunately, Microsoft's installation strategy for these new snippets leaves a lot to be desired. You can download and "install" all the snippets at once, but you must manually add each of the snippet folders via the Snippet Manager (Ctrl+K, Ctrl+B). I loves me some snippets, but this is unacceptable!

Goes to show ... when you release something new, no matter how cool the delivery (i.e. install) is almost as important.
