Is that better?

BTW, almost everything listed there is "playable". Some of it is 
"playable" on Linux, and some of it must be compiled before it is 
"playable". Windows isn't the only platform in the universe.

Yes, I made sure it had "SETUP" in all uppercase letters for the

FYI, 39 of the 52 downloads in the previous file release were for the 
Windows installer, and it did not have "SETUP" in all uppercase letters, 
and it was not even the first download on the list.
