By the way Azure is great and powershell will be of use when you switch over to Azure and switch over to windows server, but in the meantime we want to take a powershit on your infrastructure please allow us to do so. Look we are open source friendly now, you can run powershell which is absolutely useless for managing or running anything on your linux server estate you have running probably on aws.

This is nothing more than them trying to add value to their own server division, to try and woo companies back into their fold.
How to install curl and ssh in cygwin windows 10#
Microsoft are still dominant / monopolists on the desktop market and they are shitting on all windows 10 users with spyware, trying to cash in on advertising like google, but they are a distant second / third / fourth in mobile, server and cloud (the future) Instead what they provide is a shell which is completely useless to practically 99.999% of either Linux or OSX users. If they really are a different company why don’t they support a true open format which could be made to render perfectly on any office suite or make excellent ports of ms office on osx and linux ? MS Office file formats are still an undecipherable mess even though they supposedly use some open format xml. I hardly ever need an office suite and when I do libreoffice is more than good enough, but that’s just me. There is no official Linux version of MS Office. MS Office on OSX is terrible and people pay money for it (ask any one using outlook on osx). I don’t see how this is of any benefit or how microsoft are opening up and playing fair now. If I want to write an OO script I’ll use Python or Ruby, if I need something quick I’ll use shell and there is no way any of the tools powershell provides comes even close to the tools already used / available by the Linux community. But in reality no shits are given by any one using Linux, who in the Linux community has requested powershell ?
