easy_install is part of the setuptools or distribute package.  I
assume that one of these is what you installed.

On Windows, the easy_install command is installed into your Python
Scripts directory, which should be something like
"C:\Python27\Tools\Scripts" or "C:\Python25\Scripts" depending on your
Python version.  You just need to find that directory and add it to
your PATH.

PyPI is the Python package index.  It's a website at
http://pypi.python.org/ -- not a replacement for setuptools or
easy_install, which uses it to look up package metadata.  Setuptools
is supposed to be superseded by distribute, which may be what you
heard.
