According to the PowerShell Team Blog, Jeffrey Snover has announced the surprise release of PowerShell Version 2. New features include:
- Remoting – this is the ability to execute powershell statements on remote computers
- Script Cmdlets – you can now make real cmdlets using only powershell script–no C# required!
- Tons of new cmdlets for controlling popular web-services such as:
- Out-Flickr
- Get-OrkutProfile
- Post-DelIcioUsBookmark
- Find-Yahoo
- Out-Digg
Now I find the most intriguing aspect of the new cmdlets is that it shows a strange confluence of Microsoft and Yahoo technologies. Did MSFT play their hand too early? I wonder if this means more than it appears…Watch the two stock prices today.
Go download it now! Here’s a screencast I did of the new stuff in action.
You almost got me dude

We do NOT have a Find-Yahoo cmdlet.
I think you are confusing this with our BUY-Yahoo cmdlet which is currently under development.

Of course, Orkut is Google’s, and Digg is owned by AOL now …
