Welcome Gilles, I'm not a windows user, but.... Get the current stable version here: http://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/emacs/windows/emacs-23.2-bin-i386.zip It's just as easy to install, as any other software. Well, it's easier to remove though, since nothing will remain on your computer (no registry entries...). This makes emacs my editor of choice if I have to work on a window system (i.e. some one elses host). Org-mode comes with this version of emacs. After a while, you might want to upgrade Org mode to the current development version. But for a start the bundled Org mode version is just fine. Sebastian
