Brane,
Thanks for the review!
I actually asked everyone to review the download page when I changed it.
The reason I put the GridGain community edition up top is because from the
user standpoint it is the most stable release, as it has the latest bug
fixes (as you know the voting process for an official release may take
several weeks which delays the bug fixing process).
As we approach graduation, I think it will become less of an issue going
forward.
