[21:42:08] <JeffHicks> ##What will be the big PS 3.0 feature that will drive people crazy to adopt it?
[21:48:28] <mwjcomputing> ## What is the best cmdlet in v3?
[21:48:30] <DanielCruz> ## Have you found yourself wanting to use v3 features at work? everyday?
[21:48:59] <mwjcomputing> ## Actually... WHat is your favorite v3 cmdlet?
[21:58:02] <mjl135> ## What is the restfull api stuff? Â (so out of it)
[22:00:49] <JHofferle> PowerShell *was* about being consistent.
[22:06:36] <JeffHicks> I'd be happy if vendors supplied good help documentation with solid examples
[22:09:05] <vmcutlip> How would you do that. Since the beauty of programming is no one single way to do things. How would you possible grade
[22:12:33] <BartekB> ## do you plan to have several "badges" for different technologies?
[22:12:57] <DanielCruz> ## I referred to Advanced Event 8 from 2011 this week because I needed to strip Exif metadata from a jpeg to import into a "very specific" oracle server.
[22:15:16] <mwjcomputing> ## What is don's favorite powershell feature?
[22:15:36] <mwjcomputing> ## WHat is the user group day all about?
[22:22:10] <JasonMArcher> I think Devs had an advantage... a key part of our culture is to show off what we have done... so user groups grow easily out of that
[22:22:10] <JasonMArcher> I think Devs had an advantage... a key part of our culture is to show off what we have done... so user groups grow easily out of that
[22:22:44] <DanielCruz> Yes! "PowerShell, it's Xbox for your OS" -Bartek
[22:23:57] <JHofferle> I'm still telling people to try PowerShell...and hear "nah, I think I'll just stick with AutoIT"
[22:25:05] <AlexMcFarland> I bought Don's book for the guys that work for me, trying to get them to take the plunge. Â I think it's hard to do when things are busy and doing it the gui way still feels faster.
[22:28:11] <vmcutlip> Had the pleasure of going to a 5 day Vbscript & WMI class with Don. Really great examples and real life situations. I think I will pick up the Powershell book based on that alone
[22:36:13] <RichPrescott> ## At what point does a brand new admin start moving towards PowerShell? Â e.g. Say I've never run DCPromo and don't know the available options. Â PowerShell has the options, but if you don't have them presented to you in an ordered fashion, it can be difficult to grasp.
