I agree with the conclusions. 

One point of clarification:
 Will the Windows installer retain the ability for the user to choose an
alternate location for j602?

One comment:
 With the addition to the Windows installer of an option to choose an
alternate location for j602-user, paragraphs 4 and 5 of the conclusion
would be simple even for users with no J experience. I'd be content for
this to be left as a potential improvement to be included in a future
version of J.
