The announcement of\u00a0<strong>PowerShell Core<\/strong>, which is not a finished product yet, causes a lot of confusion.

PowerShell Core will not be replacing Windows PowerShell, as it\u2019s meant to provide .NET scripting automation to non-Windows Systems.\u00a0 This is a good thing, as many Administrators managing Multi-OS systems can use the time invested in learning PowerShell to work across multiple platforms.<\/p>\n<p>In order to understand what&#8217;s going on with PowerShell Core, check out these two Microsoft PowerShell Team Blog posts:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>PowerShell Core Roadmap<\/strong>: <a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.msdn.microsoft.com\/powershell\/2017\/07\/14\/powershell-6-0-roadmap-coreclr-backwards-compatibility-and-more\/\">https:\/\/blogs.msdn.microsoft.com\/powershell\/2017\/07\/14\/powershell-6-0-roadmap-coreclr-backwards-compatibility-and-more\/<\/a><\/li>\n<li><strong>PowerShell Core Release Candidate<\/strong>: <a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.msdn.microsoft.com\/powershell\/2017\/11\/17\/powershell-core-6-release-candidate\/\">https:\/\/blogs.msdn.microsoft.com\/powershell\/2017\/11\/17\/powershell-core-6-release-candidate\/<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>Reporting Windows PowerShell vs. PowerShell Core Issues<\/h3>\n<p>There is a big difference &#8211; Windows PowerShell is not Open Source.
