You know, Microsoft always used to say that Linux was difficult to manage because of all the scripts you had to write and know, so what do they do? Welcome to Microsoft’s Powershell. So how do Microsoft describe Powershell…”command line shell and scripting language helps IT Professionals achieve greater productivity”.
Did you notice the “greater productivity” part? Okay, so if Microsoft has a command line shell and scripting feature, it’s just so cool, but if it’s in Unix/Linux it’s just a big stinking pile of mess!
It’s amazing how many Microsoft blogs are saying this is just so great, as if they’ve never seen anything like this before! Come on folks give me a break!!

I’m not denying the power of Windows Powershell or comparing the relative merits of things like ksh, csh, bash etc versus Powershell.

Okay, I accept that Windows now has both GUI and Shell based admin, however can I SSH into a Windows box and run the Powershell scripts?
