29. "Give us a shell like UN*X (or better :-)"
MSH (aka "Monad")
"Give us a shell like UN*X (or better :-)"

30. 3/27/2017 3:10 PM
Why MSH?
Windows administration has not met the needs of administrators
Overemphasis on GUI-based tools and developer-oriented SDKs
Weak command shell with incomplete coverage and limited automation
Unix employs a powerful model for automating administration tasks
Composition (A | B | C)
Text-based pipelines
.NET enables Windows to do better than Unix
Object-based pipelines
Managed code
Commands are classes
Reflection-based utilities
