I could be wrong, but I think the point was that he's not using Linux, 
while the majority of instructions for getting and using various 
scientific libraries for Python assume that the user *is* using Linux.

One option would be to run Linux from a VM... but another would be to 
use a 'packaged' version of Python such as Anaconda * or Enthought ** - 
they come ready to go with all the more popular scientific packages 
installed.  They go to some lengths to address issues of package 
compatibility and dependencies - something that can be more of a pain on 
Windows than on Linux.
