Hi!

I'm feeling unhappy with WindowsDownloads page[1]. But looking at main Download[2] page
I think it's more than windows-specific problem.

Actually our downloads pages taking about installation of bzr.
Especially Windows download page have too many words, although I started
separate page with installation instructions for windows[3] back in 2005.
Now this page is out of date, but not so hopelessly.

Can we cleanup our downloads pages to be more about files rather than
about installation details, and provide links to separate pages with
detailed instructions about installation? For me (as non-english man
the main problem here is too many words and tendency to cover
everything at once).

Also, I'd like to simplify windows download page to provide short wizard-like
guide to choose between 2 kind of installers. Something like questionnaire
to choice between user system with or without Python installed.
Because in regards to GUI plugins this installers is not equivalent
I'd like a little help to better wording this in English.
