.NET (dotGNU too) Igor Moochnick announced Pash, an open source implementation of Microsoft's PowerShell. "The main goal is to provide a rich shell environment for other operating systems as well as to provide a hostable scripting engine for rich applications. The user experience should be seamless for people who are used to Windows version of PowerShell. The scrips, cmdlets and providers should runs AS-IS (if they are not using Windows-specific functionality). The rich applications that host PowerShell should run on any other operating system AS-IS. Secondary goal: the scripts should run across the machines and different OS's seamlesly (but following all the security guidelines)."

I was actually going to poin this tool out as well. There are some issue that I have with it but it works rather well in the end.

Mono will NOT be running on my system. Someone really needs to rewrite tomboy in another language, other than that I don't run mono at all.

Better not run a javascript capable browser either, as its under the same standards body as C# and the CLR.

Always gotta watch out for those standards based languages, everyone knows they ooze pure evil....
