Perl is a great language, and it's an asset to Windows that we want to continue to improve. ... The Perl community is very active, and members are often vocal about their opinions (especially about Microsoft-but hey, perhaps this article will help assuage some of their fears!), but also very helpful to new Perl developers.

Who are "we" in the first sentence there? And I don't think this article would "assuage" anybody's fear given Microsoft's well known "embrace and extend(tm)" tactics.

May the GPL protect us all from all evel. Amen.
