Windows Monad

So how about Windows Monad for Vista comming out? there is a free beta download at http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/i...splaylang%3den
(Registration Reqired)

I was reading /. and there is a multi-page artical to Monad with the syntax etc.
http://arstechnica.com/guides/other/msh.ars

This shell more closely resembles BASH in some ways and the scripting capabilities are much improved.

Let me know what you think.

Note: Also requires the beta version of the .NET Framework v2.0

Another interesting tidbit, you can leverage the .NET API with Monad, and this script uses winforms.

msh> $window = new-object Windows.Forms.Form
$window.text = "This is a Windows form!"
$button = new-object Windows.Forms.Button
$button.text = "Click me!"
$window.controls.add($button)
$window.showDialog()

Thought it was taken off of the things-to-implement list, because it could be dangerous.

I think it looks kinda cool. An object oriented shell, well there you go...

Agreed. I've been trying it out, and I like it so far. For more flexible and powerful than cmd.exe or command.com

Why would anyone use it? What'd be better would be C# script or something, though doubtless its already work in progress, but if you're using .NET why not knock out a simple command line program, given Microsoft will make their compiler free if they have any sense. In the meantime I'm content with cygwin for bash/perl/python scripts on windows thank you very much, which also gives you all the stuff in DOS if you need it. Now if only there was a way of using colinux to completely remove the windows kernel...

Nice way to troll an old thread back to the top of a list with a useless post...
