    I really want to love the “everything is an object” of power shell but I just have zero uses for using a shell on windows. Granted, my windows usage is like 15 minutes a week most of the time, but still. I also can’t be bothered to use it for work because it’s exclusively Linux/linux-ish over there so it’s not worth bothering.

    Either way, I like the idea, can’t really justify figuring out the details.

      If you only have to use it 15 minutes every week it’s probably not worth getting to know.

      I work in a Windows shop, so I love everything being an object, most of the time. At least for the things that are worked out completely.

      It’s great for things you need to iterate or just for figuring out what you can do by piping a result to get-member. If you are interested in getting better at powershell at some point, I highly recommend Powershell in a month of lunches. (Also because I like Manning’s model where they automatically offer the digital versions of books they sell, and also offering free previews of the entire book, given enough time)
