Back from Tech-Ed: How can I get iPowerShell?

Moving to 64 bit: Running a 64 bit PowerShell console inside PrimalScript 2009
PrimalScript 2009 is a 32 bit application, so by default it uses the 32 bit version of PowerShell even on a 64 bit machine for the embedded console. If you are dealing with mostly 64 bit server software you may want to make the embedded shell use the 64 bit version of PowerShell. The default […]

But for the rest of us, when that EULA dialog pops up in the installer, we pretty much […]

Really? Oh come on! Yes we had an iPad at our booth which we were using to show iPowerShell and our training videos. But, NO, it was not a prize. We know you all want one. But it WAS a Microsoft show. They probably would not have been thrilled if we were handing out competitive […]
