I'm not at all convinced by this logic. On Windows, as far as I'm aware, the 
only "major" Python distributions are Anaconda and Enthought, both of which are 
intended mainly for the scientific community.

What "distribution" would you suggest for a web developer? For a system admin 
who wants to write automation scripts? For a database admin doing reporting and 
automation? For an application developer planning on packaging his application 
with py2exe/cx_freeze? For a game developer embedding Python? I'd assume all of 
those target audiences would use the python.org installers.

Honestly, my guess (conceded, this is based on no actual metrics) would be that 
99% of Windows users use the python.org installers, certainly not the other way 
around.
