Actually, both Anaconda and Canopy suffer from the initialization process 
issues. You can't really use virtualenv with either of them unless they set the 
registry PythonPath value (since they won't find the libraries they need to 
launch), and if you install both then they'll fight over the registry key and 
you'll get Canopy launching with Anaconda's path or vice-versa.

The problems are inherent to the standard python.exe, and are likely part of 
the standard pythonXY.dll. Nick's scared of fixing it, so I'm absolutely 
petrified :)
