Automating the world one-liner at a time…
Since a lot of people have been asking about it, yes - my book "Windows PowerShell in Action" is finally in stock and available on-line from http://amazon.com , http://www.barnesandnoble.com/ as well as directly from the publisher http://manning.com/powershell . It should be available in the store at Barnes and Noble and Borders later this week. Thanks for everyone's patience.
There are a couple of short reviews on Amazon, a quite entertaining one on the Barnes and Noble site:

Jeffrey even gave copies to BillG and Ray Ozzie J
Thanks everyone.

Got my copy, can't wait to dig in!
I've had the e-book version since it was available on 'early access' from Manning, and my dead-tree copy is waiting for Amazon to ship it. I really love the way Bruce that you explain the reasoning behind why a feature is how it is - rather than just: here it is, here's how you use it, next. IMO it's not just a great PowerShell book, it's a great technology/engineering book too! Kudos.
Completely unrelated to the post:
Could you please post on the topic of using PowerShell remotely? Is there any built-in support for things like SSH or did you guys take care of that in another way?
(Yes I can use OpenSSH but the user experience is far from good.)
Thanks,
Dejan
The book rocks!
