People tend to think of '!' in US English as being an indicator of
enthusiasm, but in other cultures that punctuation can indicate a
direct instruction or even a commanding tone.  For that reason, they
really shouldn't be used on official web sites.  Most sites would
simply indicate "Download XYZ now" instead of "Download XYZ now!".

It's a pretty minor issue, but worth fixing the next time we change
the content.  Rahul, why don't you file a ticket against the web site
for this?
