Only sysadmins really have interest in learning PowerShell. I don't know about .NET developers. They could have some value in knowing it, but I don't know the .NET community. > > I assume there are not many people on this list but I wonder what do you > think? > Is assuming knowledge of the PowerShell realistic? > What is your target audience? Among the general Windows users, no. Among developers on Windows (using Windows only as a desktop to work on remote systems or OS independent applications), no. Among .NET developers, I don't know. PowerShell is still quite new and marketed only at Windows sysadmins. Personally I still do my Windows desktop administration tasks with NT batch files, WSH (JavaScript) and sometimes Perl (most of my Perl code is system independent stuff). > Is there a website or some forum with a lot of Windows developers where I > might > ask this question?
