More of a rant on Microsoft’s decades of work in removing, and limiting such direct OS access in the name of simplicity, only to come full circle and begin reworking it into Widnows in a more Unix way. What it lacks, however, is any reasonable integration into the OS or applications in such a way that something simple like a terminating a GUI locker or a completely GUI-less system is not only possible but easy. Power Shell is a major leap forward in terms of shells and scripting.

How many Windows applications are written to take advantage of it? Output verbosely to it? “Those who do not understand PowerShell are doomed to trash it. If an application locks the GUI, can I keyboard shortcut to the CLI and save the day, or does the application get to take down everything? Do I still need a GUI to use PowerShell? Do most Windows OS’s have it? Will most have it? When? My rant was lacking specifics despite being long winded.

Which now, maybe, in the future, including PowerShell. No, just the operating system as a whole.

Most Windows commercial and even some enterprise level software doesn’t even begin to offer the features and flexibility of a single, simple Unix command line. Backup & Restore, which MS still hasn’t got right, is easy, and highly customizable in Linux. In Linux there are single line “scripts” that are full replacements for what would take hundreds, perhaps thousands of applications to accomplish in Windows. USB key, Damn Small Linux, and I had my “several hours” of work done for me – by the computer, in less than 1 minute. Spend hours and hours doing this by hand or almost all by hand in Windows? Combine each of the hundred files into a single text file report that lists matching lines by number of matches. Delete all lines starting with a specific text. Remove the third column (they are tab delimited). Delete the first two lines of each file. Process all files in the given directory, without having to specify each file I had a hundred similarly formated text files. Microsoft has led so many to believe that thousands of mouse clicks are the only way to accomplish these tasks which computers were solving in the 70’s, indeed created, to relieve us from such mundane tasks. I am applauding the inclusion of PowerShell. I’m grateful that they see the error in their ways and are working to correct them – even if they continue to fall short. “Those who do not understand Unix are doomed to re-invent it. And when that isn’t good enough, you have to turn to third party tools to get any manageable scripting available – and it *still* remains a half-baked solution.

The solution is to download MS’s advanced command line tools (Resource Kit) to get the job done. Where the task is the same over and over again across hundreds or thousands of files. Most repetitive tasks in Windows are still human driven. Especially for complex or excessively repetitive tasks. There is always need to specifically spell out to a computer, in very specific terms, exactly what to do. There is always need for the command line.

What we really need though is hardware manufacturers to keep working hard on getting drivers out. I just hope they pull off a half decent Service pack that I can slip stream into the DVD.

So disabling the Preview of Thumbnails, turns off any way to look at thumbnails in Open Dialog boxes for programs, which is completely ridiculous. Unless I specifically want thumbnail browsing incase I’m looking through a photos folder. (Although I can’t say I like how everything is 2x bigger, such as the right click menus and Icons are bigger etc.)Īnd the biggest pet peeve I had, was I don’t like Thumbnail previews with normal Explorer browsing. But I was, albeit my reluctance, impressed with some of the things in Vista. Time to recommend people wait for Service Pack 2 =)īut seriously, I’m more of an OS X fan, I love the OS, and for me it’s hands down the best for what I do. Can’t make a service pack already, it will still feel rushed, by the time XP started getting good, was Service Pack 2, and that’s after they’d really dwelled on their mistakes and implemented ways to fix it.Īll I see happening is this Service Pack is a way to add the features they missed during shipping, and instead of fixes and things, we are getting even more new features.
