The other funny thing is that Microsoft looks to be gravitating to command line admin scripting in Win 200x (20x0?) to fix the mega-inefficient UI paradigm that "real" NT server installations suffer through. I don't have any URLs handy that confirm my story, so if anyone has a few, please reply.

The story continues; you guessed it: they're getting the scripting capability by putting in shell support with perl, etc., so they can run the zillions of lines of admin scripts from unix-land. It's not "legacy" code, rather it's the latest thinking in perl, TCL, etc.

Gee, I wonder where they got the source?
