Is there a way to developing a script on linux and give it
to someone on microsoft, so that they could run it on microsoft
without installing python?

Long answer:
No indeed. But if he were to have a Windows computer, he could
generate a standalone executable from a Python program using one of
the following tools:
py2exe: http://www.py2exe.org/
PyInstaller: http://www.pyinstaller.org/

But one can't generate such a standalone executable for a different
operating system from that which one's computer runs.

Cheers,
Chris
