This Lab is awesome .. you must have heard about it from skp , shiben and all other CVITians … lemme boast a lil bit more about CVIT .

PowerShell

Microsoft has come up with a new command prompt interface , Powershell to give developers and h0x3rs some hope in windows for automating day to day work . This was created by “Microsoft’s Linux Group” .. yeah such a group exists .. google it .

The language is not as powerful as bash but hey something is better than nothing .. The biggest catch … u can use both “/” and “\” for changing directories … it used to be a pain in the a** for Linux users like me to use “\” after a using Linux for the whole day .

Looking at the examples given at the microsoft’s website i think this will replace my basic “cmd” …

Read this book its funny :- Unix-Haters Hand Book or from a local ftp ( for IIIT’ians)

Ps: This news is one year old

Ps2: I am not a *nix-Hater .. but on the  other hand an ardent *nix-Worshipper

PS3: I am not a Windows-hater either .. i am just a Use-Windows-Only-For-Games kind of guy

PS4: I bet the best comment will be from general Bordeaux but he isnt here …

PS5: tata ciao !! Au revoir !!
