It has now been disclosed at the PDC and its name is MSH (Microsoft SHell), codenamed MONAD. Here is the best description so far."

    A new command line for Windows will be great for anybody that wants to do a bit of scripting on Windows.

    Yes, it always felt "wrong" somehow to use a real, proven scripting language like Python on Windows. I guess I was just waiting for some new language that was designed by the whizkids at redmond, by microsofties, for microsofties.

    Perhaps now I can rewrite some of those 2000-line BAT and CMD files in another scripting language that runs *native* on windows. Accept no substitutes, only the microsofties know what is *really* good for us.

    (Yes, this is a repost, I screwed up w/ the other version).
