Description
I'd be interested in hearing feedback from Windows users, but one possible conclusion from the download numbers in #604 is that Windows users who land on our Github latest release page prefer the Windows installer 3:1 while users who get prompted to update or land on the openrefine.org/download page prefer the zip file with bundled Java 3:1 because that's what they're prompted with.
I think we should consider making the installer the default (and only?) Windows kit.
