(no wonder why "Call to action" is so underrated these days hehe) Well, if you click in "Download" you will get more information... here, this is for Mac: http://live.bittorrent.com/download_mac.html :)

More install information, still absolutely nothing about what it actually is or how it does it.

As a side issue... apparently you didn't read the single line of text I had written. Maybe that's why text is so underrated, and everyone tries to simplify things until there's just one button to push, and it's big and colorful?

haha I know right, text... text is underrated too. I don't have time to read a full page with information about a new project because I don't know anything about it yet, I don't even know if I'm interested. I like to talk to landing pages like this: "let me try the thing, tell me how to download it, signup, connect or whatever gives me some interaction with the product(without scrolling, without reading 20 lines of meaningless text)" because If I'm interested then I will read all the docs, reviews and architecture papers you want. Is not a wikipedia page, it's a product launch and guess what: It didn't work for me in my mac =)

Which is why a call to action is handy. But without even an "about" link somewhere? I can't find the docs, reviews, or architecture papers. They seem to just want you to download and install this thing called "live" that does something that they won't even describe, and run it. That's just a bad landing page.

Right, there is no "about" link :(. It's just like any other landing page for a very disappointing content/product.
