Off topic, but I find it a little annoying that the default Windows installer links to the 32-bit installer (and there's no adjacent 64-bit installer link) - you have to dive into various links to get the 64-bit installer. Seeing as 64-bit Windows is now the norm, it should be the default. (It is possible, but creates a larger installer to support both 32 & 64-bit) It'd also be nice if the prerequisites for the installer could be corrected so we no longer see the "I'm missing X.dll..." emails.
