PowerShell 1.0 RTM!

Windows PowerShell - It's a Wrap! Windows PowerShell 1.0 Released!

"Today at the keynote at ITForum in Barcelona, we announced the official release of Windows PowerShell 1.0!

For those of you unfamiliar with Windows PowerShell, it is a best of breed next-generation commandline shell designed from the ground up to be flexible and powerful while still remaining easy to use. Many thanks go to our friends at MySpace.com for coming all the way to Barcelona to show how they're using Windows PowerShell in production today for the mission critical task of maintaining and managing the second busiest website in the world.

To download Windows PowerShell, please use the links below:

Windows PowerShell 1.0 English only: http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=75284&clcid=0x09 ..."

Nice!

Downloading it now...

Err... maybe not...

It looks like, as of 11/14/2006 8:16 AM PST, the download links are not working/hooked up, etc. When I click on the "Download the Windows PowerShell 1.0 WindowsXP-x86 English package now" link I get sent to the MS Search page.

According to the post's comments MS is aware of the issue and looking into it.

I'll update this post when the links are working (for me at least).

Update #1 11/14/2006 @ 9:02AM (PST):

They are getting closer...

Now when you click on the English XP2, x86 link you're going to the MS Downloads page...

That says "The download you requested is unavailable." LOL

Still it's better than the Search page. Give them just a bit more time... I'm sure we'll be happily PS'ing soon ;)

Update #2 11/14/2006 @ 12:33PM (PST):

Okay, it looks like it's available for download... IF you search the MS Downloads site for PowerShell 1.0

Here are some of the download links...
