- <p>Information on the latest versions of Apache can be found on the
- web site of the Apache web server at
- <a href="http://httpd.apache.org/download.cgi">http://httpd.apache.org/download.cgi</a>.
- There you will find the current release, as well as more recent alpha
- or beta test versions, and a list of HTTP and FTP mirrors from which
- you can download the Apache web server. Please use a mirror near to
- you for a fast and reliable download.</p>
-
- <p>For Windows installations you should download the version of
- Apache for Windows with the <code>.msi</code> extension. This is a
- single Microsoft Installer file, which contains a ready-to-run
- build of Apache. There is a separate <code>.zip</code> file,
- which contains only the source code, see the summary above.</p>
+ <p>The Apache HTTP Server Project itself does not provide binary releases of
+ software, only source code. Individual committers <em>may</em> provide
+ binary packages as a convenience, but it is not a release deliverable.</p>
+ <p>If you cannot compile the Apache HTTP Server
+ yourself, you can obtain a binary package from numerous binary distributions
+ available on the Internet.</p>
+
+ <p>Popular options for deploying Apache httpd, and, optionally, PHP
+ and MySQL, on Microsoft Windows, include:</p>
