Description Michael Parrott 2010-03-13 07:42:30 UTC 
When you go to http://www.digitalmars.com/, there is the section 'D Compilers' with 3 links under it. One of them is titled 'D Compiler.'
Something I think that would be useful would be to detect the user's operating system and take them to the correct page for the dmd compiler.
Right now, I am using Linux and it takes me to http://www.digitalmars.com/d/2.0/dmd-windows.html when I click on the link. I would want it to take me to the linux page if I was on linux, and the windows page if I was on windows.
Just a suggestion.

The new download page is different now, and there are no hardcoded redirects to a specific (windows/linux) download page anymore AFAICT.
