Looks good to me, Gez. Nice work. Only thing: I used the table layout to
prevent wrapping which can be confusing/messy when space is confined.
I could probably have used divs instead of table cells, however the table's
structure was useful, guaranteed to work with whatever layout it's dropped
into

The new design looks very good, much better than what was there
previously. Users can quickly find the installer link now.
I suggest a few changes:

I've replaced "Windows executable" with "Windows installer" in the
description.
I've opted to keep the .exe extension however since it describes what the
user can expect to be downloading when they click the download button.
