I'm so sorry, I had a review half-finished a month ago, but I never got

http://bugs.python.org/review/20265/diff/11414/Doc/faq/windows.rst#newcode46
Doc/faq/windows.rst:46: Command Prompt followed by (Admin).  You should
be able to recognize when
This isn't good advice, not all users will be able to use the Admin
prompt (or necessarily have it available; I'm not sure about that
though).  I've confirmed that the administrative prompt is not an
absolute necessity for using Python on Windows 8+.

http://bugs.python.org/review/20265/diff/11414/Doc/faq/windows.rst#newcode75
Doc/faq/windows.rst:75: Python 3.4.0 (v3.4.0:bd8afb90ebf2, Sep 29 2012,
10:55:48) [MSC v.1600 32 bit (Intel)] on win32
Let's not lie about the revision id :). v3.4.0 is 04f714765c13, with a
date and time of Mar 16 2014, 19:24:06.  Or we can replace the whole
revision id with "default" (a current date would be good, though).

Doc/faq/windows.rst:213: number such as "33" for Python 3.4.
"33" should be "34"

File Doc/using/windows.rst (right):

http://bugs.python.org/review/20265/diff/11414/Doc/using/windows.rst#newcode85
Doc/using/windows.rst:85: * Select Python through File Explorer
Is "File Explorer" what "Windows Explorer" is called in Win8?  Also, how
does this differ from "Find the Python directory and double click
python"?

http://bugs.python.org/review/20265/diff/11414/Doc/using/windows.rst#newcode113
Doc/using/windows.rst:113: installer to choose it.  The alternative is
manually modifying the :envvar:`%PATH%`.  See the
