   @ageha never seen that, can't speak to it. powershell is interesting but mainly because it passes objects not streams and because every single admin task on windows can be done logically through it

     yeah, the design is fundamentally based around the fact that data and actions in windows is based around APIs and so making a unix-style shell doesn't make sense, instead the APIs are encapsulated and return objects that are passed around and fed into other API wrappers
     
     it's also a .net language so you have interop with C# directly in the runtime instead of calling python/perl/whatever scripts for doing more detailed tasks

     @whiteline @ageha I was a windows admin for a couple years and I never installed Windows, I just used PowerShell on Linux.
