http://www.google.com/search?q=grass+windows is a common approach by Win
users who want to know more about GRASS for Windows. But that search
yields only old pages like this one:
http://grass.itc.it/platforms/wingrass.html that are plainly old stuff.

It would be better to remove this (and other) old pages, or at least point
them to the new WinGRASS download page. Else people will be still confused
about which is the right working version. Don't forget that cygwin, source
compiling and the like is just PITA for 99% of Win users.

Best,
Steko

Comment (by pkelly):

Nothing in that page is seriously out of date as far as I can see. The
links are up to date and indeed were improved recently when someone made a
similar point. Perhaps the page looks out of date because of the old
Cygwin screenshot at the top? Just now I have added one of native WinGRASS
too, just to make it a bit shinier. :slight_smile: (Should show up on the webserver in
a few hours)
