Exactly. Emily's page was very carefuly made so the download button did not have to be huge to be impossible to miss. She used contrast, she thought about where to put it, she added an intuitive arrow. You get it. > Note that in Emily's proposal the page is vertically smaller also > because the text is super small.

I understand what you mean with > the scrolling problem, and agree. Amazingly enough, no. This site was just tested by some users (Tamblyne and Jean) who have vision problems (inc contrast) and they were surprised at how well they could read the page. This text is actually a lot easier to read than the much bigger text fron the other design. Emily chose colors that contrast well, she was careful to put the text in the region with darker blue (for the higher up text) with the exception of the "what's new in 2.0" and "New to OOo?" links. But she compensated by making them bold, so they work out well. Emily's page really is far superior. > Maarten can just make the buttons and images smaller. It could be that > easy. Usability design is not that easy, sadly.
