A second draft: http://eegg.github.com/d-brand/mockup2.png
Changes: Swapped out logo for more conservative change. Reduction in size of the tabs. Search bar. Quick-download thing. Would have to use OS/arch detection to be effective. Moved code down into page. Could expand. And important point that's not evident is that I'm designing for variable-width. That image is for 1600px width, but that could shrink.
