Do automation without hiring a bunch of PhDs
Latest update:
Remember that every time you use powershell you make a monkey out of
yourself, hehe.
From the Microsoft employee:
"... the original impetus behind what became PowerShell (as handed
down to us in a conference room by Ballmer himself, sometime around
2001) was to fill the gap between ops people who did enterprise
administration manually with tools like MMC and engineers who
automated enterprise administration with tools like C++/DCOM. The
latter were necessary in a lot of cases, but they were expensive, and
we needed to give the industry a way to do powerful automation without
hiring a bunch of PhDs."
Long live Cygwin.
