About this tag
The tag permutation appears in a discussion about the Windows source code. A user suggests that while the actual figures in the source code are not critical, the permutation of those figures is very important because different permutations can yield different software. This implies that the arrangement or ordering of code elements is seen as a key factor in software variation. The tag is used in a speculative context rather than a technical programming discussion.
