#2That is awesome. Truly an inspired set of changes at Microsoft lately.

#3I am pretty excited about this as I have few cross-platform languages that I can use (due to conditions at work). I am wondering how many distros will adopt it into their repos.

Probably most distos that want to be available on azure. Which is why this happened really.

#5Microsoft is projecting that the .NET ecosystem will become a main revenue driver, regardless of the underlying operating system.

#6PowerShell is my guilty pleasure of the computing world. Once you've piped strongly-typed objects around between your shell commands, text scraping seems barbaric by comparison. The problem, of course, is that you can't use all that power for much, since the pool of PS-compatible tools and utilities is much shallower than it is for Unix shells. I'm really hoping this will help spur a new wave of PowerShell-compatible tools.
Come to the dark side, we have (strongly-typed) cookies.

Ballmer's long gone, so he's probably thinking about the LA Clippers (he's the owner).

#9I'm always in favor of things being open-sourced, but I do kind of wonder in what universe I would use PowerShell when Bash is readily available.

#10I've been hoping for a fully-featured Linux version of Powershell for a while, very awesome. I've used various Linux distributions for a long time and find bash very practical usually, but when I started learning Powershell when working in Windows environments I've been impressed with how easy it was to do some powerful stuff, and felt conflicted since I wanted to be able to use similar functionality and scripts across Linux/Windows.
