Yes, and?

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?

Thankfully, Perl is more useful.

    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.

    Makeshifts last the longest.
