Windows 8 (or at least 8.1) doesn't seem to be too far off from the directions 
on that site.  If you're proficient enough to change an environment variable in 
Windows 7, chances are good you can figure it out on Windows 8(.1).  If you're 
not, chances are good you probably shouldn't :)

Either way, I think that these days giving instructions on how to set an 
environment variable is beyond the scope of the Python documentation.  We ought 
to just say "here's the environment variables that Python cares about, and 
here's what they do" and leave the instructions for setting them to other 
sites.  We might link to some site deemed to have good instructions, but 
keeping them inline means trying to keep them updated, which has apparently not 
gone well :)
