Collections are sets of packages.  Schemes are sets of collections.
They are only used by the installer and have no meaning on a running
system.  You can run install-tl.sh in order to see how the menus look
like.

There is some extra documentation which is not part of any package.
It will be installed to texmf-doc/.

Microsoft isn't the answer. Microsoft is the question, and the answer is NO.
