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).
I've read some pretty dumb FUD about Windows in the past, but I think that takes the cake.
Do you actually have any logical and well-thought-out reasons for why PowerShell is a security issue? If so, it may be helpful to state them, as such a claim requires quite a bit of substantiation.
It's not uncommon for people to want to have special SE Linux labels for Perl and other language interpreters because they consider them a security risk. As restricting access to interpreters such as Perl will break everything on a typical Linux system we haven't been interested in doing such things. -- My Main Blog http://etbe.coker.com.au/ My Documents Blog http://doc.coker.com.au/
