Or you can enroll to the Beta and instead of listening to the rummors, jusge it for yourself. I did... My first impressions have been blogged here: http://guy.netguru.co.il/archives/6-Dazed-and-confused-Microsofts-MSH-shell-codename-Monad.html And while I do admit that cmd.exe is quite a lacking shell, still it is not that lousy people tend to think. More than once I have been able to squeeze some extra juice out of it. Examples: http://guy.netguru.co.il/archives/19-Querying-services-and-the-account-they-run-under.html http://guy.netguru.co.il/archives/4-Listing-GPO-owners-from-command-line.html My suggestion: get to know some MS sysadmins who are not "I have just braindumped my MCSE and think I can call myself SysAdmin" - you will be quite surprised to discover quite a new world and people administering their environment using automation, batch and scripting.
