1. Windows PowerShell - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. So, I had no idea that Monad had turned into Windows Powershell. I'm excited that Monad saw the light of day even though it didn't come as part of Vista. And it looks like you can work with PowerShell almost the same as you'd work with a unix shell.

I hate copying files in Windows

I hate copying files in Windows.

"Do you want to overwrite?"
"Yes to all."
"But what about this one, it's read-only?"
"Yes, all".
"Oh hey, um, this one's a system file (thumbs.db). You sure?"
"Yes already"

Every time I update this directory. Not sure if there's a way to turn it off. I hate Windows.

WinFS is dead

WinFS is dead. Charles Miller has a good post about it.

Update: Joseph Scott: "At some point I hope to see a giant collective “we’ll believe it when it ships” response when Microsoft announces yet another new technology that will change everything."

Tip: Disable Auto Restart in Windows Update

Upon automatically installing updates, Windows will reboot your computer without your consent, losing any unsaved work in the process.

• Tip: Disable Auto Restart in Windows Update.
• support.microsoft.com: Disable system auto restart after installing Windows updates.

This is the most asinine designed behavior I can think of. Haven't verified that these fixes work.

1. Apple - Boot Camp:

   Apple will include technology in the next major release of Mac OS X, Leopard, that lets you install and run the Windows XP operating system on your Mac. Called Boot Camp (for now), you can download a public beta today.

   Ooh.
