+1.  (Actually, more like +10.)  And 'Download Page' should instead
be labled "Previous Releases" or "All releases".

I would *much* prefer if the download link and update info were in
the left column.  I'm thinking especially of repeat-visits here,
because the last update and download link are *the* critical
repeat-visit elements of the page. I think they should be in the
most accessible place: in the upper left corner of the page content.

I don't see any screen shots, which is good, because I'd *really*
rather not have big graphics on the page I need to go to to download
a product.

Even without such changes, though, this is much better than the
current layout, bravo.
