This summer, coming to a computer near you, Ubuntu for Windows.
Microsoft and Canonical have teamed up to do this, so you can use Linux tools and apps on Windows.

Had to double-check the date.

Looks interesting.

It seems an unlikely pairing, but it might help rekindle my interest in Linux.

I don't think it's of any value to me, but figured for you computer nerds/geeks (I never know the proper terminology), it might blow your skirt up.

Worth it just for find/grep.

Windows search is beyond awful.
