FINALLY!!! PowerShell for Vista RTM.
I upgraded all my machines to RTM 2 months ago and wanted to have PowerShell instead of CMD. Finally I can finish and potentially replace CMD with it.

Back when the Internet was first created (remember the Clinton/Gore years when Gore invented the internet) there was a game made that was really different.
On the Microsoft blogs, Tony talks about a game called SubSpace. I have never played that game before but if it is interesting enough, then I will give it a shot.

An interesting note came up where there was some talk about reverse engineering Microsoft code to see our coding style.
Well besides the fact that merely doing this violates all kind of NDA's and IP rights, you would be seriously asking for not only the legal eagles to come after you, but also potentially make the code you are writing immediately suspect.
That's where the Patterns and Practices (PNP) team comes into play. They give you all the guidance and information to make your systems as robust as you choose. They discuss all the various tools and concepts to make good coding practices.
Rory goes into his fond memories of past game developers and how pure the art was back in the day.
He laments the big crazy conglomerates that have muffed up the purity of the home brewed games (not all of it is bad, but that the spirit is not as it was). Well now with the release of XNA Studio Express most things are bliss again.

This is an interesting read as to why PowerShell was created and what area it fits between VBScript and the Command Line window (CMD).
I really find it interesting and am waiting for the [Vista] release to really start using it since my main computers are currently running [Vista].

Now this is not an arrow split, but it was pretty damn close. I wonder if they could do that shot again.
