While Microsoft doesn't bundle Python with Windows, there are one or two PC
makers who add Python to their Windows boxes (HP comes to mind - the
practice appears to have originated at Compaq before HP acquired it).  I
think that's mostly to support their extra admin tools, not to encourage all
their customers to start writing software.
