Some of the most upsetting tweets I get to see are people who 100% gave up on Windows a decade ago because of Python. Much like 100% giving up on Linux because of AAA games. Don't judge a platform by the things that weren't designed for it.

I’ve experienced very few problems using Python on Windows over the last 15 years. What is the issue exactly?
1. Python not in PATH bu default. 2. Windows now detects you typed python in powershell and offers to install from windows store. 3. People need mega logins with Microsoft to use the store. 4. Hours later they get it from the store and.... Still not in the PATH. Goto #1.

1. Linux assumption. That's not how Windows works (except to satisfy people with that assumption) 2. Very popular with new devs. 3. Not obvious, but login is optional for free apps. Just hit cancel. 4. Please report a bug through Windows Feedback. That isn't normal.

1. Not Linux assumption. Other languages do the correct usable thing. All other windows software does too. This is totaly false. 2. Doesn’t matter if you cancel it’s still a usability problem and an attempt to bring users to windows. 3. I don’t help Trillion dollar companies.

Hey
@Zedshaw - not sure why it takes you hours to download Python from the store - should take less than a minutepic.twitter.com/dRhDAtuBmt

Also, after installing, Python is available immediately via the command-linepic.twitter.com/IsZE3roa6V
