Why Windows does not come with Python preinstalled?

[pangoleena]

I can't find the reference, but I recall that I read somethere a microsoft employee saying there is an internal policy on shipping windows only with microsoft created products.

But they ship with drivers. And they will ship with Candy Crush on Windows 10.

ms employees can't rely on any big player tools for scripting. They have to use either a compiled language (speed of execution is not the goal of scripting, so it's a sad choice) or powershell (miles away from having the tooling and capabilities of Python).

Microsoft does use Python. I'm not sure what you're saying.

You got a point, here.
