Global pip command
1181+
------------------
1182+
1183+
Unlike the current Windows Store install, no global ``pip`` command is included
1184+
(the traditional installer also does not include a global ``pip`` command,
1185+
unless the options to modify ``PATH`` and to install pip are selected; the first
1186+
of these is off by default). This impacts global installation of packages, which
1187+
is already discouraged, but has no impact on activated virtual environments.
1188+
1189+
The existing recommendation remains, which is to run ``python -m pip`` or
1190+
``py -V:<TAG> -m pip`` to launch pip.
