The new scripting language, Windows Powershell 1.0, is finally available for Windows Vista. You can download the x64 and the x86 editions now.
Powershell is important because it crosses all of the new enterprise products. There’s already support for Exchange 2007, there will be support for System Center Operations Manager 2007, System Center Data Protection Manager V2 and System Center Virtual Machine Manager.
The other key feature is that it really makes complex fucntions much more simple. Anyone familiar with VBS scripting will know that you often have to write libraries of functions just to do simple tasks. Powershell promises to solve this.
