Hello,

Attached is a first draft patch that I believe, fixes the issues here.

1. Marketing is removed. We are not here to market vendor products.

2. Message is universal and applies to every vendor (and community projects)

3. Keeps the spirit of design and organization of the current download pages

4. Adds Postgres Pro for Windows

This is a draft patch, I have no doubt it needs a work but at least we
now have something that is agnostic.

The fact is, we can not and should not explicitly delineate between the
feature sets of various vendors. Let them do that on THEIR pages, not
ours. If we continue down this path, in no time we are going to have a
dozen different vendors on these pages, offering what is essentially the
same thing.

Sincerely,

JD
