Apparently though, Microsoft now have a new shell - windows PowerShell - which is said to compete with Linux and UNIX command line interfaces.
Yes, but it is pushed on to users and powershell scripts can be very dangerous ... given exception to run without checking by AV and other protections!!!! To me, powershell is another great big security problem just wanting to be exploited, which is a real pity considering MS has otherwise taken pretty giant strides in the right direction on safety and security matters overall in recent times (there are other exceptions of course). It looks like I'm going to have to /adjust/ some cmd batch files to use powershell on a Windows Server 2012 R2 machine for a customer as M$ broke task scheduler in a bad way :( A.
