Actually, some vendors do install Python on Windows machines, but that's vendor-specific rather than platform-specific. More information on such installations can be found in the [http://www.python.org/doc/faq/installed.html "Why is Python Installed on my Computer?"] FAQ.

For Linux, you can use ["Freeze"] to make executables. For Windows, you can use ["Py2Exe"].
