Windows to Have Better CLI

Posted by Zonk on from the stephenson's-going-to-have-to-annotate-the-article-again dept.

MickyJ writes "The command line interface to the Windows Server OS will be changed to the new Monad Shell (MSH), in a phased implementation to take place over the next three to five years. 'It will exceed what has been delivered in Linux and Unix for many years', so says Bob Muglia, a Senior VP at Microsoft." More from the Tom's Hardware article: "The language in Muglia's comment offers the first clear indication that WMI may be yet one more component being left behind, as Microsoft moves away from portions of Windows architecture that have historically been vulnerable to malicious attack."

    Monad .. Gonad

    Monad .. Gonad

    doesn't that rhyme too well?

    Gosh now that I have it in my head I hope I don't end up saying it at work.

    Also, who here believes MSH actually stands for Microsoft Shell? I am sure MCSE's will be out there pronouncing it M-S-H.

    Microsoft: "Upgrading to Windows Longhorn will solve ALL your problems."

    Where have we heard that before?
