For the non-techie among us, would I be able to install alpha release of the testnet client on my Win 8? Some guidance would be helpful. What does all this mean? "two official clients released at the same time, with one written in C++ and the other in Go; a Python client is also in the works. A compiler from the Ethereum CLL to Ethereum script will be released very soon."
see if this helps..
