For those of you haven't heard or didn't see the same post in Programming & Development. In the upcoming Longhorn release Microsoft has added something new to the system. It's codename is Monad and also known as Microsoft Shell (MSH). It incorporates some old DOS commands, KSHell, BASH, as well as some aspects of PERL and Ruby. It looks really cool and you can also download a beta and test it on XP & 2003 Machines. Links: Google Search Developer.com MSDN Editor's Blog The .NET Show Beta Download Hope you guys like.
