I think this is Python's popularity. One factor is ready availability: "normal" users don't build Python from source. So Windows users download it from python.org, everybody else gets the binaries from the OS vendor.
Another factor is that the ActiveState ActivePython distribution for Windows isn't available for 2.5 yet. Early adopters have even fewer places to go than normal. Mike
