look at the firefox download page for an example:
There is a nice huge pretty button that is the download for your current platform. Below the big button there is a small link that says "All Systems & Languages <http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html>" which links to the matrix of all possible downloads.

I think http://www.mozilla.com/ is an excellent landing page for "Here, Get Our Stuff".

Maybe Eli is saying that 64bit is really the better default, given new

Why would it damage more people?

I think it makes sense to put on the first page some kind of an
indication that "this is what we guess your machine is; if you don't
know, try this one first". Perhaps not Guillaume's exact words, but
something that would help this person.

Does the combo box auto detect the
downloader's platform for the User-Agent header.
Yes, in some cases when it's possible to make a guess.


If so, then the next
step is to change the layout to:

      Download:  __Macintosh OS X (Intel i386)__
      (this is the version of DrRacket for your system. In rare cases,
you might need a version for a __different system__)
This will damage many more people.
