Sorry, we won't recommend alternative installers on the README. We have https://docs.astral.sh/uv/getting-started/installation/#winget

I understand the concerns about conditioning users, but the WinGet package is not Astral maintained and we cannot vouch for it. Similarly, without control of the installer we cannot improve the user experience.

@zanieb how can I help maintain an official winget package? For Windows, winget should now be the default package manager, and behind the scenes it can effectively do what your PowerShell script does.
