Introduction to PowerShell

[FiveAtol]

cmd is way better

[maggot80]

To be honest I don't really understand why windows wouldn't just as well make a terminal(unix)-like command-prompt.. It has been around for quite some time and gotten extremely efficient! Verb-noun might make it simplistic to begin with but I can't see the efficiency in the longer run..

[podraigporridge]

@maggot80 Actually *nix should do exactly as microsoft have done.

PowerShell is amazing, and exactly how it should.

For example, ifconfig. In *nix, you would need to egrep it to hell to just to get an IP address.

With PS, all you do is run the command, index the adapter, and request the IPAddress member

Ahaha /etc/init.d/microsoft stop!!!!

[lin545]

Stupid terminal ripoff.

Uneeded and stupid.

Because no educated person put windows on server!

And what it is good for then? For gamers?!

[podraigporridge]

@lin545 Well my friend, it is certainly no good for you

[zasx20]

CMD on steroids!!!

great video thank you for your explanation of powershell and the small tut

[rickideemus]

Thanks very much for the intro. The main reason cmd.exe "needs an upgrade" is Microsoft kept diddling around, tightening syntax "for security" on the one hand, while adding tons of cutesy doo-dads on the other hand. It became a royal, incomprehensible MESS.

Now we have a super fancy DOS. Looks really nice! But how do I get the enthusiasm to invest hundreds of hours learning a language that'll be unrecognizable three weeks from Tuesday?

But nice job on the video. Fast typist. ;-}

Wow, this looks like an improvement to windows...haven't seen one of those in decades. XD

[pepeledog]

Is it my freakin' imagination or is Windows morphing into Unix/Linux???? DUH!!!

DOH!!!

I like your clips and I have subscribed.

The Future of the World is Slavery!!!

cmdlets? Very cute. Just install cygwin and put the cygwin in the path variable. Run cmd and you are ready to go.

[xorg62]

get-process = ps -aux :D

[podraigporridge]

@xorg62 Yes, but better.

[fuckaverageusers]

Well, we could have already done this almost 40 years ago.

[maqsad1]

Great, so now Winders has 1/10th of the power that the unix shell had 30 years ago. Congrats.

[gleventhal]

Exactly

After years using VBScript, finally shell scripting language for Windows has come. However, UNIX still rules.

[rezdawgg98]

apt-get remove PowerShell.exe :P Microsuck :P LINUX RULES!!!!

[wfox]

Why are you seeing this? xD

[kaiomatico]

you forgot the sudo :D

[newolowa]

only a newb would need to sudo

[kaiomatico]

yay you are right... /bin/bash is enough for a root acc :)

[lue1975lue]

yea, "Future", thanks for bringing back the lost art of "DOS".... hate that it's back...

[BASHCuresCancer]

Wow, the "tab" key is amazing!

[petterah79]

Hehehe, this is great, "the future"... to bad this has existed in unix for YEARS...

[raredesign]

Not true. Powershell is object driven, not text based. It is much more robust, yet refined. You can get the same result with much less code.
