A powershell compiler would be nice, I realize that's what C# is/is for, but still it'd be nice to just compile my powershell scripts and get a huge speed increase.

I think Jeffrey Snover and other key players has said they forsee PowerShell is portable in multi-platform as many of Microsoft customers runs heterogeneous environment. He event talked about Pash Project (http://pash.sourceforge.net/) and said he would like to do anything to support that movement. However, they do not have the bandwidth right now. I understand that since they are trying to release V2. I think showing support for it is the first step in the right direction, so don't loose your hope.

As for the Portable Powershell initiative by Karl Prosser goes, I think this is great stuff as we can take a simple flash disk in the backend network bypassing firewall and run powershell magic (Wait! having said that, remember to lockdown your Data Center even harder because a wrong guy with a flash Disk with the ExecutionPolicy "Unrestricted" set in his disk might cause some major damage.

lol

p.s. I shouldn't talk any flaw about Karl's initiative as I haven't checked out his blog post about the portable Powershell just yet. Perhaps he or somebody else already brought it up)

Until PowerShell runs under Mono, there's nothing remotely 'portable' about Powershell. :(

I with Karl on this one and it would be a great idea to have a portable version. Specially, those who are partnering with Microsoft could take advantage of such a product.

Man if I'd have known you guys wouldn't sick the legal dogs on me I would have blogged about how to do this months ago. It's actually quite trivial. I ran 1.0 and 2.0 CTP side by side this way.

It would be a great feature. Kinda like Export-Console U:\ -Binaries -Modules *
