Thats odd, it should have

Thats odd, it should have just given you the Windows one, and the Mac one should have just ran regardless.

Well, either way, the official download link for the Windows launcher would be https://s3.amazonaws.com/Minecraft.Download/launcher/Minecraft.exe

When you have bought the game, you can download the stand-alone launcher for Minecraft here. It will automatically update the game files with the latest version. You'll be able to play the game without an Internet connection if you've been online at least once.

Download Minecraft.exe. If given the option, save the file instead of running it. Save the file anywhere you'd like, then double-click the program to run.

You don't need a new account to download Minecraft on another OS.
