The real pictures of Windows 7

[computerpro2]

While I was on connect, i came the realization that Powershell (and more specifically, the version in the screenshots) is version 2 of powershell, which is currently in beta and I just recently downloaded it and I am testing it now. I could think of many reasons, but this alone should be sufficient, why would Microsoft use a beta product in an alpha version of Windows 7. Granted, it would work but the Powershell team hasnt even finished the final release of Version 2, I also know that Microsoft uses the alpha / beta / rc versions in-house, but why would they put a beta version of an unfinished product in an alpha OS and later send it to key partners? I completely understand how Microsoft operates and have been following the company for 10 years.... But it just gets me that they would do something like that...

If Vista is anything to go by, Windows 7 may well change radically between now and final release.

I am surprised that Windows Power Shell does support 'ls' command that is originally from Linux system, what I know in XP do not have that command, but don't know about Vista.

the powershell supports most unix shell commands (the basic ones)

Fake... :cry:

Wow, you just publicly made a complete and utter fool out of yourself, you don't even understand how a keyboard shortcut works!

its evident from your sig that you need to go outside and play with the other kids in the sunshine.

Well that's why it's called Powershell and not just the normal command.com.

who cares

[Jet Ju]

But Where to download?

If someone konw please tell me.My email:[email protected].

[iMonkey]

Sorry Jet Ju, Warez isn't allowed here at Neowin so no TOS abiding user is going to tell you where to get this.

[Not implying in any way that this is publicly available.]

Fake... :cry:

Should be:

And another fake:

its people like you that give websites like this a bad reputation.

Windows PowerShell is a scripting add-on (similar to longtime NT CLI alternatives 4NT and TakeCommand or Linux' csh, a commonly-included alternative to the default Bourne Again Shell, or BASH) originally developed for XP/Server 2003 (however, it also works in Vista/Server 2008). V2 is currently in beta-testing.

Also, unlike 4NT or TakeCommand, Windows PowerShell has *always* been free.

XP version: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details...;displaylang=en

Vista (x86): http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=79516&clcid=0x409

Vista (x64): http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=79517&clcid=0x409

Server 2003 SP1/R2 (x86): http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=75790&clcid=0x09

Server 2003 (x64): http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=75791&clcid=0x09

WPS is included in Server 2008.

Linux/UNIX-style scripting has been a big thing in most NT CLI alternatives. I remember seeing that option in not just TakeCommand/32, the longtime 9x/NT CLI alternative from JP Software, but the not-exactly-typical Hamilton C Shell for Win32, a pure C shell for Win32 operating systems (originally developed for Windows NT 3.5x, it also works on 9x, and all succeeding NT OSes up to XP). Also, the target userbase for WPS is the server admin, who may (and usually does) also have Linux/UNIX servers to run and would rather be able to use the same scripts to administer all the servers. With Windows PowerShell, now he (or she) can.

It doesn't.

They're just aliases to the fully qualified commands, the parameters nor the output of the Cmdlets are nothing close to the real *nix versions.

[Brandon Live Veteran]

"ls" isn't new to Windows. It's there in at least the last several NT versions if you install the POSIX subsystem (which has been superceded by SFU / Interix / whatever it's called these days).

I know that, I made my comment because the guy said you can't do an LS in Windows XP. I was pointing out that you can't do it from command.com, but you can from Windows PowerShell.

And another fake:

Pwnt.

[Ducane]

Well I thought he was being sarcastic.

[Crazysah]

I don't think the official pics will come for some time...

[zero061099]

I agree! The SS's u are seeing are really nothing. Does anyone REALLY believe that Windows 7 (code name I know) will look like that? Hell no!

It's possible BUT I doubt it. The whole point of the next windows version is its supposed to e faster! It wouldnt be faster if they chose to use the same old Vista them.

[AltecXP]

Vista used to look like XP till later in beta....why does no one remember this?

People have short memories.

[Roger H. Veteran]

short memory or selective? I think they just choose not to remember or just don't know any better as they weren't old enough or too old now. :)

(just kidding... geeze)

Anyways, lots of people just don't expect to see the "new" OS looking just like it does now. They expect to see some leaked video of 3D interface with some guy not using a mouse but using "minority report style" interface or something.

[Tha Bloo Monkee]

Looks exactly the same to me. Not like I care about it now anyways, it's still way too early.

It's just like Vista and how people were talking about it 3 years before it even came out...
