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..

Are you not worried about: "Also be aware that this is still unreleased software and can cause severe damage on your machine. Use at your own risk!"? Should I be?

I have 64-bit OS. Am I out of luck? "Download the Go Windows 32-Bit Distribution and run the installer. As of now this guide does not cover 64-Bit installations as it causes some problems compiling the secp256k1 library."

ofc not, the programm runs on 32 bit.
when u have a 64bit os u can run 64bit AND 32bit
