-### Windows Installer
-Windows users can use an installer, which also provides the
-[AllMyData](AllmydataDotComPage) backup client, and a SMB/winfuse -based
-frontend. These installers can be downloaded from (TODO: they're built, but
-where are they downloadable?).
+### Windows
+There used to be an installer for Windows, but we now recommend that Windows
+users just follow the [quickstart instructions](http://tahoe-lafs.org/trac/tahoe-lafs/browser/trunk/docs/quickstart.rst).
+The SMB-based ("WinFUSE") frontend that was provided by the [AllMyData](AllMyData).com
+client is no longer available, since it depended on a closed-source library
+for which no open-source replacement was available. If you are interested in
+Windows filesystem integration, see tickets #1361 and #1111.
