I think it could be because of the confusing start menu in recent windows versions. Perhaps they keep clicking the tile that shows the installer (as a 'recent document' or 'download'), rather than the new tile that would show the actual Python/idle/documentation icon. I can't check right now because here I have windows 7 (with a sane start menu) but will have a look at how it's presented when freshly installing a new python on my machine at office next week (which has windows 8...)
