-|Feature overview=To support Windows x64 we would like to have a stub installer that checks if the user is running Windows x64 and then downloads / installs the correct bits. To accomplish this, I propose we use the existing installer, have it check if it already has the files to install, and if it doesn't have it download an archive containing the correct files. To support this, a rewrite of the installer user interface will be necessary.
+|Feature overview=(It sounds like this is valuable for a lot more than just picking the right binary to hand x64 users. This is necessary for us to understand our acquisition funnel and potentially get some early wins on improving download failures. It's for these reasons, not the x64 case, that I've raised the priority on this feature.)

 This feature falls primarily in the '''Experience''' category (from the "Discover, Experience, and Connect" vision statement.)
