I think Windows PowerShell is one of the greatest things to have been released recently (yes, I am a poshoholic).
At TechEd 2007 last June in Orlando, a lot of people were talking about PowerShell. Ben Pearce put together a list of the top 5 questions he was asked while doing demos. I will leave it up to you to check out the questions, which have pretty detailed answers. I am going to start blogging on TLA about Windows PowerShell, and how it can make *your* world a lazier better place. I am hoping that, along the way, I can help you understand and appreciate the POWER of PowerShell, and help you automate your environment or even just help with your regular daily stuff. At any time, please post in the scripting forum, if you have any questions or comments on PowerShell. You can even post your own scripts in other languages, and ask "how do I do this in PowerShell?". I will help you find the answers...
I want you to be as excited as I am about this new technology.
Exchange 2007 was basically *built on* PowerShell, and as of Windows Server 2008 beta 3, it can be easily added to the OS. Come circa 2009, expect PowerShell to be in all Microsoft server products. Why not start to learn it *now*?
Feel free to visit my personal blog (http://marcoshaw.blogspot.com) where I post more general stuff all related to Windows PowerShell.
