[kwlug-disc] Windows to support SSH?

[Khalid Baheyeldin]

The reasons are hinted at on MSDN's own blog:

"Finally, I'd like to share some background on today’s announcement,
because this is the 3rd time the PowerShell team has attempted to support
SSH.  The first attempts were during PowerShell V1 and V2 and were
rejected.  Given our changes in leadership and culture, we decided to give
it another try and this time, because we are able to show the clear and
compelling customer value, the company is very supportive."

Seems that either Ballmer or someone else high up in the hierarchy did not
want Windows to be managed from the command line for whatever reasons.
