Microsoft has added shell scripting capabilities to its upcoming server versions. Shell scripts are one of the most powerful tools for quick automation of tasks on operating systems. They are specialists, often considered as Domain Specific Languages, and are being extensively used on Unix-type platforms with variety of shells. While Windows did have the batch programs in the irritating command line interpreter with some intermedia scripting language, they were just a collection of command line arguments. Better late than never, Microsoft has introduced Windows PowerShell, which should help automating mundane tasks. It can be used on any current Windows family starting with Windows XP. A new syntax, a new language, but it will be useful to developers and administrators alike.
