This article is part of "Manage With the Windows Shell" on the Enterprise .NET Community (TheServerSide.Net) ... and it's a great article on how to write Shell Extensions etc in C#
VSCmdShell provides users with a shell window inside the Visual Studio IDE that can be used for Visual Studio commands as well. Allows using either Windows Command Shell (cmd.exe) or Windows PowerShell.
This is the main blog for following the development of the new Visual Studio Shell extensibility kit that lets you create apps within visual studio or as standalone apps with a visual studio ... shell ;-)
Run PowerShell as the internal shell within Emacs. Note: there's a good link on here to a PowerShell script syntax file, and lots of .net-related emacs content...
Remote editing with ssh - no need to tunnel X11 over ssh.
This reminds me of a question that puzzles me: for those of us that use multiple machines, is there a failsafe way to have a master .emacs file for them all? Where do folks store it? On a web server, ftp, NFS directory, a favourite home directory, or a USB stick? Is there a low effort way to sync it: rsync, unison, a custom shell or Emacs lisp script, or a manual scp?

An essay from the Windows Vista shell team about menus: why they're good, bad ... how ribbons are different ... and the new User Experience (UX) guidelines
A slick Shell Namespace extension for Windows Vista to allow you to browse and search the registry in Explorer. Looks really nice - licensed under Ms-PL
Craig seems to have some really interesting insights into the Visual Studio Shell architecture ... what we'll be able to do with it, and how we'll have to do it.
IronPython Studio is a free full IDE for the Python programming language based on the existing IronPython example and the Visual Studio 2008 Shell runtime ... and doesn't need Visual Studio installed
This tutorial assumes no previous knowledge of scripting or programming, but progresses rapidly toward an intermediate/advanced level of instruction . . . all the while sneaking in little nuggets of UNIX® wisdom and lore. It serves as a textbook, a manual for self-study, and a reference and source of knowledge on shell scripting techniques. The exercises and heavily-commented examples invite active reader participation, under the premise that the only way to really learn scripting is to write scripts.
PowerShell is Microsoft's task automation framework, consisting of a command-line shell, an integrated scripting environment (ISE), a scripting language built on .NET Framework, an API allowing you to host PowerShell in your .NET applications, and it is a distributed automation platform. PowerShell provides full access to COM and WMI, enabling you to perform tasks on both local and remote Windows systems.
PowerShell is a new breed platform for automation, in that it solves administration and adaptability challenges by seamlessly integrating the .NET Framework. It's good for developers, administrators, testers and more. Based on .NET, the tool drives down costs, while providing developers and administrators a simple and enterprise-ready way to automate, measure and improve all of their processes.
How to handle Events in PowerShell (another example of things you just can't do in a string based shell?) a GREAT example of how using PowerShell leads to .Net programming (and how knowing .NET programming translates into knowing PowerShell).
