PowerShell Perspectives
summary
PowerShell history traces concrete milestones: 129 commands in v1, delivery via snap‑ins, community fill‑ins like PSCX community extensions, Quest and VMware toolkits, and the arrival of remoting in v2. Demos show convertto‑html reports, PowerShell Plus and PowerGoo GUIs, and brittle VM installs where licenses fail. The narrative claims PowerShell evolves from a framework into a language (PowerShell 7), and the demos mostly work though some legacy snaps and VMs require fiddling.
