PowerShell 2.0 released for Windows XP, Vista, Server 2003 and 2008
Wednesday, October 28, 2009 at 10:52 The very fantastic 2.0 release of PowerShell comes pre-installed with Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2 (both of which I would recommend moving to at your first opportunity), but surprisingly hot on the heels of the releases of the new operating systems, the final version has now been released for Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows Server 2003 and Windows Server 2008, after a beta was available for several months.
PowerShell 2.0 comes as part of the Windows Management Framework along with Windows Remote Management (WinRM) 2.0, which is required for the new remoting features in PowerShell 2.0, and a new version of the Background Intelligent Transfer Service (BITS), version 4.0.
Check out the announcement on the PowerShell team blog and the various install packages on the KB page.
