What is the deal with it?

I've glanced at it but can't see what the big deal is with it.

How does it compare to kix in terms of functionality/ease? Kix is pretty hard to beat.

well, it's not that cool but as example exchange 2007 console is build on it.

so, even if nobody likes it, it's here to stay.

I've been reading/playing with it and in many ways the code is similar enough to kix that it isn't too hard to keep up with

Code:

$objBios = get-wmiobject win32_bios
"Serial Number =" + $objBios.SerialNumber

Must have been developed by the same guys that did WMI ;0)

WMI would have died long ago except that its so damn usefull.

Well have not been following it, but thought there was or is going to be commandline scripting support for some .NET features too. If true then it's real power may lie there, but would need to see/know what it supports in those terms.

well... when monad news started coming, lots of talk was about getting a power shell into windows that would have some of the strength of the unix shell's

just don't see the similarity yet...

Yeah, for now I'd probably have to agree from what I see so far. But if this is not dropped by MS like WSH was then who knows....

the CONCEPT is supposed to be something on the order of instead of building GUI apps to run apps, build the apps functionality on the powershell and then make the GUI run the powershell cmds.

SO... if MS holds true to this, it will be the cmd shell of the future.

We'll see

yes, he did hint something years ago...
in my opinion the highest priority is currently getting the 64bit version out.

it would be great to some day be able to have the access to .net directly without the help of kf.net but the outstanding issues do pass that in the development list.

so Kixforms now supports .net?.... I did not know that.

I wish we had more questions and/or the support forums hosted here so that I could keep up with it better. About the only time I visit the kixforms website is when this one is down.

Well it has supported .NET now for over a year Allen.

As for 64Bit well it is not in full swing yet either. I'd like to see some of the other stuff requested like supporting the OUT calls of WMI like WSH supports etc.
