[chaos-devel] Windows Powershell - a hacker's dream!

[Per L. <pe...@ha...>]

Hi guys,

This is awesome... take a look at this:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_PowerShell

It seems to be much like what has been discussed on this list
previously: the GUIs (administrative ones for Exchange Server 2007 etc)
are built on top of the shell, just like Johannes has been proposing.

Also, the idea of instead of piping text (like in Unix and compatible
shells) you pipe objects from one command to another... simply awesome.
Microsoft has done it again, and I dare to say that nowadays, the
technically superior system is not the open source/free software branch
with BSD and GNU/Linux, but rather Microsoft and it's .NET technology.
