Chatroom Banter
RichPrescottWife: ## Ed, Any thought to doing the Scripting Games as an ongoing monthly series to give people more time to play?
FishTender27: ##Are the challenges still available if I wanted to take a crack at them now that I am not as busy?
Matt__: ##how can I get V3?
ToENuFF: I don't always write scripts, but when I do, I use PowerShell!
JHofferle: "I don't always use a CLI...but when I do...I prefer PowerShell."
alexandair1: ## who is an author of the third one?
jsnover: ### Do Lido and Rohn use the script center?
DonJones: Hi, this is Don Jones - I once wrestled an aligator in order to learn his secrets about PowerShell
Schlauge: ## what tool do Rohn and Lido use to code? Â ISE? Â Powershell Plus? PowerGUI
RichPrescott: ## ScriptCenter Repository rocks the scripting world.
RichPrescott: ## And I rock it.
JHofferle: Script Explorer http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=29101
ScriptingWife: You guys should have lots more sympathy for me now. I live with this 24/7 LOL
FishTender27: ## Ed's got so much energy... how many red bulls a day does he drink?
RichPrescott: ## @Jsnover: Is there any functionality that you wanted added in Windows Server 2012/Win 8, but were unable to see it implemented? Â Do you see the community filling the gaps with scripting?
Schlauge: ## why is everyone pushing v3 so much when it's not even offical
ToENuFF: ## Any plans to finish the ISE host so that it meets all of the host reqs? Â Start-Transcript, etc
Schlauge: ## my concern is that so much is said that dont use for PROD becuase it may not work later...
ToENuFF: @halr900 @richprescott fairer question: Â What are you looking forward to seeing come from the community?
MarkDW_: Will there be a WOA/WindowsRT version of Powershell?
MarkDW_: ## Do you think developers will do Metro apps for Windows Server 2012?
BartekB: ## any chance to move tiles around in server manager?
MarkDW_: ## Please expose the Powershell commands in the new server manager
RichPrescott: ## Any feedback on the Connect item to expose the PowerShell commands being run in Server Manager?
MAC_: ## It seems like there are 3 versions of 2012 Gui remove the gui and core is that the case?
MarkDW_: ## Since server manager is based on Powershell, why not expose the commands that are being run under the covers?
Jaykul: The workaround for long paths is http://poshcode.org/2488
[10:55pm] Jaykul: aka http://huddledmasses.org/downloads/Experimental.IO.zip
JHofferle: ## Do the winners have blogs?
