Thanks for the pointer. The goodbye-windows.com site could use a big friendly „Click here to install Debian“ button, linking directly to the installer. I’m CC’ing the supposed site owner. I agree with pabs that this could be put in a more official place.

Or does does it require adjustments before it can be used? @get.debian.net: Maybe you want to host the installer directly?

I wasn't aware of goodbye-windows.com or that get.d.n stopped pointing at goodbye-microsoft.com. In any case, external sites are clearly the wrong place to put any Windows-based installer for Debian.
