Postgres Plus is not the same as what's on those pages. Postgres Plus
is our own distribution, whilst the one on the sub pages is modelled
on the Win32 installer and is 'PostgreSQL' branded.

The front page quite clearly states that Postgres Plus is a third
party distribution.

The 'community' pages contain only 'PostgreSQL' downloads, which come
from postgresql.org, EnterpriseDB, Command Prompt, Fink, BSD Ports and
a whole host of other third party sites. Each of which is labelled to
say who packaged it, and their company where applicable.

I'm happy to clarify that wording.
