There are two windows choices since it depends on whether you have the latest Java Runtime Environment (JRE) or not.
One includes the JRE : "A combined download for Windows with OpenOffice.org and the JRE included is listed as "Windows (incl. JRE)" (90MB). The Java Runtime Environment (JRE) or complete Java Development Kit (JDK) can be downloaded from java.com". The other does not include a JRE. You can select any of the USA mirrors. If you can choose one that is closer to you, then the download may be a little faster, but at the end of the day its all pretty much the same. Have fun... /paul On 1/29/06, George L.
