Monad - next version of Microsoft Command Shell...

 

crosspost from http://rextang.net/blogs/work/

I've read the info from Scott Hanselman talking about Monad for a while (also listened to his podcast about this). it's a very exciting thing people can have in Windows world, a more enhanced shell interpreter then current Windows Shell (WSH). to telling a truth, traditional batch file (.bat) was really feature limited and can't do many things what shells in unix world can do. by reading Ryan Paul's guided tour of Monad, really feeling the power of what it can do.

To download the beta for test, go to Microsoft Beta site to find it. or just use this link for the file download. associated documentation pack is here.

I updated Ryan's great document so it's consistent with the RTM bits:
