The Python on Windows faq could use some TLC.  For instance, cx_Freeze should be mentioned in the faq about creating an executable (and py2exe should either mention that it doesn't quite support 3.x yet, or just be removed until it does), and the embedding faq should be cleaned up with proper voice and formatting (and the "undocumented facts" should be documented).

The faq doesn't mention the new launcher for Windows.  Rather than write too much I'd simply cross reference this http://docs.python.org/3/using/windows.html#python-launcher-for-windows.  I think this also impacts on the section "How do I make Python scripts executable?".

Kathleen Weaver -- am beginning to Python but comfortable with Windows so will look at this.

#20265 has more discussion as well as a patch that touches both Windows FAQ and Using Windows.  Closing this one.
