With so many GNU/Linux deployments on Azure (~60% was<br />the figure I heard) MS has no option. People need the tooling and whilst<br />PowerShell's ability to slam objects around as params/results and do RPC<br />etc /should/ make it a slam dunk...the reality is, it's a sack of shit.<br /><br />Trying to get it to do remote connect & execute is an exercise in<br />frustration and futility (I still use PsExec because, well, WinRM is a<br />bugger). SSH just works, y'know? Even with the grief over things having<br />spaces in their path.<br /><br />Will this new GNU/Windows contain SSH? Dunno, don't care. Cygwin FTW!</blockquote><br />I think this is a bigger threat to OSX than it is to Linux. A lot of<br />developers/geeks have been moving to OSX because it gives them a simple<br />GUI with decent command line tools. Well, they get that with Windows<br />now...<br /><br />-- <br />Mike Cardwell <a href="https://grepular.com" target="_blank">https://grepular.com</a> <a href="https://emailprivacytester.com" target="_blank">https://emailprivacytester.com</a><br />OpenPGP Key 35BC AF1D 3AA2 1F84 3DC3 B0CF 70A5 F512 0018 461F<br />XMPP OTR Key 8924 B06A 7917 AAF3 DBB1 BF1B 295C 3C78 3EF1 46B4</blockquote></div> </body>
