  1. Powershell? 2007-01-23 14:33:00

    Yes. I wish I had the time to fully understand how to utilize it. I watched a video on channel9 and the guy just flew through what it could do.

    It looked cool, but I don't know exactly how I'd use it day to day.

  1. How did Microsoft Powershell get onto my computers? 2011-02-24 10:00:16

    Microsoft Powershell is part of Windows Updates so will get uninstalled unless you untick it.
    Don't worry, it's not spyware or a virus if that's what you're worried about it.

  1. I was wondering, what are some disadvantages of powershell? 2010-08-17 10:15:57

    Unfortunately when ever microsoft builds a scripting tool it is generally an after thought.

    I've been a Unix Admin for a couple of decades, I also have to maintain several MS servers.

    When I need to script something I do so in a language that is meant for it, such as bourne shell, bash, or korn. Microsoft rarely will play in a way that is open or portable. In reviewing the RTFM's It still looks as if it is more of the same. Using the CLI makes assumptions about the users ability.. Microsoft assumes that the person using the Powershell has been keeping up to date on their MCSE certification so you know all the OS embedded applications.

    Give me perl, sed, awk, and bash anyday of the week.

    Disadvantages in words:
    Obtuse, lack of openness, non-portable.
