Powershell in Linspire

Many people have asked me, Why include Powershell in Linspire?  The answer expands more than just "because it's there."  PC/OpenSystems LLC realizes we live in a world where organizations use a variety of operating systems.  Whether it is Android, iOS, ChromeOS, other Linux distros, Windows or Mac we strive to be a good citizen.  Whether it's working with other companies or including technologies that allow us to interoperate with other systems.  Powershell fits that criteria.  Not only is it open-source, so the source code can be downloaded and improved upon, but it is the primary command-line interpreter for Windows 8.x/10.x .  Our job is to make our user's lives easier and one of the ways we feel that is accomplished is by limiting the learning curb.  Users can switch between platforms and work between them easily and effectively.  That is why we include Powershell in Linspire, Linspire CE and Linspire Enterprise.  Not because of some shadow agreement with Microsoft as some have suggested.
