Microsoft have just released the first version of their next-generation scripting language. PowerShell 1.0 can be downloaded from this link: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx/kb/926139 and there are versions for Windows XP SP2, and Windows Server 2003 SP1 with support for both 32bit and 64bit versions. There’s more reading on the PowerShell blog here: http://blogs.msdn.com/powershell/archive/2006/11/14/windows-powershell-1-0-released.aspx

UPDATE: For a quick primer on some cool things that can be done with PowerShell, read this blog entry over on the Windows Vista blog: http://windowsvistablog.com/blogs/windowsvista/archive/2006/11/14/it-forum-day-one-windows-vista-and-windows-powershell.aspx
