[LUG] Windows Server 8 plays catch-up with VMware and Unix

 

http://www.theregister.co.uk/2011/09/14/windows_server_2008_overview/

"The enabler for this change is PowerShell, which happens to be
Snover's invention. PowerShell was originally launched as a command
shell and scripting language, but is now called an automation engine.
There are thousands of cmdlets and the idea is that any management
task can be accomplished with a PowerShell script. Microsoft told us
that tools like Server Manager are now lightweight GUIs wrapping
PowerShell scripts. In some cases, the scripts are exposed so that you
can perform a task once in the GUI, see what script was generated, and
then repeat it as a script, perhaps with modification, or within a
loop targeting multiple servers.

PowerShell also gains IntelliSense, which is a feature that
auto-completes keywords as you type, and a workflow engine."


Sound familiar?
