From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

... Surprised it took them this long to get a tui editor in Windows. I would have assumed they had at least something somewhere.
They had edit.com from the DOS era.
Edit from MS-DOS still came with Windows XP and I think it was in 7 too. Did they remove it in later versions?
It was in 7 as well, but only the 32-bit edition. edit.com stopped shipping with 64-bit editions.
