Will numpy actually cleanly install with `pip` or `easy_install` on a system that doesn't have the proper version of Visual Studio? If so, that's news to me.

No you have to have the correct version of VS or Mingw with the proper commands in the way `pip` is configured.

easy_install works fine out of the box for numpy, though pip won't.
