They are actually starting to build powershell into a lot more of their core apps. You can really do a lot of cool things with powershell. It's just an ugly looking language, IMO, so I tend to use iPython as my scripting language. It's really nice to be able to drop in to PowerShell if you need it, though.
I run Win 7 at home, on all my boxes, and I'm running Win3K on EC2 as a server. I can remote in from my phone, as well as my netbook without any problems. My deployment is automated and scripted. I'm going to switch to Server 2008 soon, so I can get a remote shell if I need it.

Turns out that 32-bit emacs uses a 28-bit pointer (256 MB file size limit, 64-bit emacs handles up to 1 million TB). So, I tried splitting the file. Here's my result: On my home machine using linux / bash / cat | head+tail: about 4 seconds On my (slower) work machine using cygwin: about 10 seconds Using powershell: writes about 100-200k / sec (so about 25-30 minute if it ran to completion), but it chokes around 64MB. I know, you can write a bunch of .net code in powersheel and get non-terrible performance. That's not the point; idiomatic code should not be unusable.
