You can download Emacs 22.1 from ftp.gnu.org/gnu/emacs/windows The other instructions should be as valid as they were previously, but really all you need to do is uncompress the file to a directory and run it (emacs.exe, or runemacs.exe to hide the command window). If you want an Emacs icon in the start menu, then run addpm.exe. I'd recommend against copying someone else's .emacs file, as the webpage you linked to does. For one thing, most of what is in that file is cruft, enabling things that are already enabled in 22.1 (or even 21.3 in many cases). For another, the changes it makes to the defaults are the personal preferences of the author of that .emacs, and may not coincide with your own preferences.
