Shipping Python with Windows 10

Python is awesome but Python on Windows always feels like the red-headed step child. With Window 10’s UserVoice campaign, you can help me change that! Let’s start here:

Please vote for this request on UserVoice:

Ship Python 3 and Python 2 with Windows 10

Ubuntu and OS X include the Python runtimes by default. Please Include the 64-bit version of Python 3 and Python 2 with Windows.

I believe many developers choose OS X and Linux over Windows because these OSes are more open source and CLI friendly. You have done a lot of fix the CLI experience in Windows 10. Please make Python development better on Windows by including it out of the box.
