Hi,

I've noticed a lot of people asking where to find the win32 
downloads.

It seems that the new design of the mysql.com website is pretty 
confusing.

When you click on downloads, and then on a version of MYSQL, it lists 
all kinds of tars and binaries but nothing that looks like a windows 
version. Well, you look way down, under "older" versions, it lists 
"3.22.25 - Windows 95/NT (compiled, ZIP files)" and points to 
"/Downloads/MySQL-3.22/mysql-3.22.25-clients-vms.zip". I suspect 
that's not the windows version that people are looking for.
So, then you take the next logical step and look under OS-Specific 
downloads. Still no luck, windows is not listed there.

The website may need a redesign to make things a little more obvious. 
Even though the old site was less "logical", it seems that people had 
an easier time finding the win32 download.

Just  my $.02 worth.
