Agreed, I feel that the user's experience of Python on Windows has been steadily improving. Thanks to everyone for this. The one thing that I sometimes miss is a "portable" distribution (i.e., unzip and run, do any PATH manipulation etc that you want yourself). But it's easy to make one yourself, so no real issue there.
