The PowerShell team is very appreciative of the community’s interest in PowerShell, and we are looking forward to releasing it for Windows Vista RTM.  F inal PowerShell testing on Vista could not start until we had Vista RTM code (just released November 8th, 2006). So our development team needs some time for testing to make sure Windows PowerShell 1.0 works correctly on Windows Vista RTM before releasing the final package as we’ve done for shipping products like Windows Server 2003 and Windows XP.  We do expect to have a final Vista RTM package available by January 30th, 2007, at the latest, but we are working very hard to deliver it sooner. For those seeking an interim solution, we have provided our RC2 package for install on Vista Build 5600 and ”Windows Server "Longhorn" build 5600.  To download Windows PowerShell, go to www.microsoft.com/powershell/download.
