PowerShell comes to MacOS and Linux. Oh and Windows too

Oh how the mighty have fallen

"That idea’s fuelled by Redmond’s belief that in a hybrid cloud world there’s every chance you’ll wrangle Windows or Linux servers from a Mac or penguin-powered machines. Or even a Windows PC."

I remember a time when Microsoft refused to even consider that there was anything but Windows. A time when it actively tried to thwart Linux from booting. A time when it crippled it's own Office if it wasn't running on a Windows platform. It was the Microsoft Way, or the highway.

It seems that the continuous string of investment failures has finally bowed the head. Yes Microsoft, you're right ; there is every chance that cloud servers will be administered from something other than a Windows PC and, as time goes by, there is more and more chance that the server won't be Windows either.
