[kwlug-disc] Windows to support SSH?

[CrankyOldBugger]

That's my biggest beef with PowerShell right there:  it's so version
specific.  It's a real PITA at work when we have NT4, W2K, W2K3, W2K8, and
W2K12 servers to deal with.  The only thing I can rely on is DOS batch
files.

Having SSH go cross-platform and cross-versions would be great.
