wants to read it as "Install.exe" and wonders why there's a space 
before the dot. What the author actually meant is probably 
"Installation executable".

That's "The Button" on the main D page, so I suggest we use a 
better title. How about "Download for Windows"?

Well, if one visits the site sending a GNU/Linux user-agent, 
there will be those two buttons instead:

  - Install .deb
  - Install .rpm

And that's why it shows "Install .exe" on for Windows users.

Still better as Installation Executable or at the very least no

I did a quick dig through Chrome Dev Tools and found the button 
text is generated in a javascript file. Easy enough to change:

I'll check back on it later when the tests have finished to make 
sure it rendered properly.

And I just realized it won't render properly because I overlooked 
one line. Bah.
