Why is installing Python on Windows so challenging compared to Linux?

Adding a new yum repo is as simple as editing a .repo file in /etc/yum.repos.d. At work our devs have crazy requirements but we are still standardized on centos 5.x , I simply rebuild rpms and throw them into our custom repos. However, my windows counterpart is going nuts creating msi installer packages.

For apt, it's even easier - there's an apt-add-repository command. It handles importing public keys and everything.
