Microsoft released Windows Powershell, a new command line shell which is available with
Windows Vista that, via
cmdlets, scripts, and executables, allow core system administration tasks to be scripted. While this functionality has been available on *nix-type systems for decades, Microsoft's version will almost certainly, within a few years, be available on several hundred million PCs. Both of these include commands for navigating directories, managing files, and launching other programs along with system administration. Now both communities, the Windows & the *nix, would get a lot out of that and that both have a lot to learn from each other.
Bash typically
relies on a combination of
newer tools and classic Unix utilities, the
PowerShell has its own set of command-line programs.
Has anyone used either of them ? If yes, how does the Windows Powershell make up against Linux favorite bash, or which of the duo is better ?
Your experiences are most welcome
