Yep its true… Can’t say that the name PowerShell makes me quiver or anything. I recall how the first time I heard the Monad name I was like, hey pretty cool name, a science (chemistry) term. The name PowerShell makes me think of a MAC.Â
Oh well, it appears it will be released to web Q4 2006.

I too am disappointed in the name change, and not just for losing a cool name like Monad or MSH. What truly irks me is accessibility. msh.exe is infinitely easier to type than powershell.exe. Letter count, key placement, etc all combine to make it that much harder and that much longer to access something that’s main purpose is to make things easier.
I liked MSH. It sounds cool, it rolls off the tongue, and its so easy to type. I’ve been using MSH since beta 2, and have been constantly amazed at the functionality, versatility, and abilities it gives me with each keystroke. The name change somehow taints it, and the posted reason for the name change only adds to the sour taste. Yes, melodramatic, but it aptly describes how strongly I feel. From other’s responses, I see my opinion is shared. I truly hope they revert back to msh.
