Trolls aren't entirely useless.
With archives and search engines, this becomes yet another target in the
search "how do I get/download/burn/install Debian from Windows".
As I noted in my initial response, the breadcrumbs to the Debian
installer from the homepage /are/ good. What's a tad confusing is the
third stage at which one must identify their hardware. The choice
between x86, ia64, and amd64 is a bit confusing.
Hrm. A link from "processor architecture" to "how to determin my
system's processor type/architecture" page would be useful.
A quick search doesn't turn up a good guide, through the Debian
Installation Guide lists architectures, and the Debian FAQ identifies
these by chip type:
