in thread Microsoft is against Perl!?

While reading the disclaimers, note that this is a set of disclaimers on a software development kit labelled beta. You should not be using this for production. Period. And if you do, then Microsoft should not be liable.

So I don't mind those terms. If they remained when the product shipped (and some likely will) then I would mind them. But not now.

But the anti Open Source games are a different kettle of fish. I often say that I like using the right tool for the job. However if Microsoft wants to ban the use of things like Emacs, CVS, Perl, Python, Ruby, cygwin, VNC, and so on, then the right tool for me is going to be very unlikely to be from Microsoft. That kind of restriction is simply not acceptable.
