Evolution of shells in Linux (developerWorks)

However, I did find a different problem; things go really wrong if you try something like this:

dir | get-content

because "get-content" takes a list of objects from the input pipe that are interpreted as file names.

Still, my first problem is solved, I have egg on my face, and so it goes. I never said I didn't like Powershell--I enjoy working with all of the common shells (except maybe MS-DOS Command prompt) and would like to see Powershell be more easily integrated with existing tools.

I suspect there is a way to get "dir | get-content" to act more like UNIX shells would, but we could argue all day about the merits.
