Steve: Thanks for the valuable service you provide for Windows
users.

I'm wondering how we at the Vim Tips wiki can provide clear
advice to users about how to download the different versions
("Vim with Cream" and "Vim without Cream")?

This page is probably a bit confusing for those not familiar
with the system:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/cream/files/

Currently there are three sections labelled:
- Newest Files
- Cream
- Vim

I think some extra text would be useful to clarify. Perhaps:
- Newest Files
- Cream (Vim with Cream)
- Vim (standard Vim without Cream)

Also, in the overview at the top of the page, you might add:

---start---
Files on this page are for Microsoft Windows.
Files named "cream-xxx" provide Vim with Cream.
Files named "gvim-xxx" provide standard Vim without Cream.

With scripting enabled in your browser, click "+" to expand a
section to see the available files.
---end---

Following is what the Vim Tips wiki currently says for your two
downloads. I guess the URL for standard Vim should be changed to
the files URL above. Do you want any other changes?
http://vim.wikia.com/wiki/Download

---start extract---
Which version of Vim should I use?
* I want a fully patched standard Vim for Windows,
  without compiling it myself.

Use Cream's "standard" Vim (this is easiest and best for Windows
users on 32-bit systems).
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=43866&package_id=39721

* I want Vim configured like Notepad for Windows.

See the Cream versions at http://cream.sourceforge.net/download.html
---end---
