Hmmm . . .I think Perl + Wal-Mart is somewhat interesting, probably for the same reasons that people in the Linux community were abuzz when Lindows hit their shelves. But I agree with person who said that this story is not nearly as significant as Perl's inclusion with Windows would be.
Would you expect usage of 'ed' going through the roof?
I for one think that between Windows and Linux, Lindows combines the worst of both worlds. I lost interest in the product as such when I read that it logs the user in as root by default and doesn't even tell them. I don't know if the current releases still follow that practice, but I don't care to find out anymore - I was appalled at the company's tactics to turn their Linux distro into a proprietary closed product. As far as I'm concerned, nothing good can come from Lindows.
