Comment(by emil):

 Found another
 http://www.sagemath.org/doc/installation/binary.html

 for further instructions on installing Sage on Windows. Be sure to read
 the file README.txt.

 where the README.tyt link is broken

 http://www.sagemath.org/download-windows.html
 says:
 To run Sage on Microsoft Windows you need the following:

    1. VirtualBox for Windows or VMWare Player
    2. Then run the downloaded VirtualBox or VMWare Distribution of Sage
 and follow

 Best to remove VMware from this description, or stat something like:
 "Currently the use of VirtualBox is supported, although other
 Virtualisation tools (like VMWare Player or Quemu-kvm are possible." a
 native speaker should write this :-)

 2 links for additional instructions are broken!
