Rule #1 for All Your New Windows Computers

For people that would rather use Unix, but find themselves in front of a Windows box, yes, this is probably the right advice. I think such people are few and far apart. Anyone who uses Windows, because s?he wants to use Windows, will react to such advice by muttering "you know what? Go fsck yourself." and leaving Perl. There's little Perl still has to offer anyway.

For administration type stuff he'd rather use PowerShell and for other kinds of programming C#.
