...Release Candidate 1 of PowerShell will be available for public download today from Microsoft's Web site...
However, it will be cmd.exe - the command prompt based on MS-DOS - that will continue to be shipped with the installation disks of Windows Vista, as well as "Longhorn" server (whose own name is expected to be unveiled soon as "Windows Server 2007"). But Muglia is expected to reveal today that, as Microsoft slowly incorporates more and more support for PowerShell into its plans and marketing, PowerShell will indeed become a component that ships with the next editions of Windows - perhaps including the one code-named "Blackcomb" - to finally replace cmd.exe, said Ottaway, within the next two to four years.
