What is MSH?
MSH is Microsoft's new command shell, code named Monad. For a good introduction to MSH, see Jeffrey Snover's Channel9 video at: http://channel9.msdn.com/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=26795#26795.
What can I do with MSH?
A better question is what can't you do with MSH! MSH is a command shell, which you can use to type commands in, much like you can with cmd.exe, as well as program against, like Perl or Ruby, or that you can use as a full function Unix shell, such as BASH.
How Can I get MSH?
To get MSH, first navigate to http://beta.microsoft.com and logon using Passport. Then, click where indicated just after the text "If you were issued a guest ID by Microsoft you can sign in" then enter the guest id of mshPDC (this is case sensitive!). You the need to enter your details and you should get beta details back within a couple of days with site access to the MSH bits.
Download from MS http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=e8e5203a-574c-4105-af6b-b2fef39adf55&DisplayLang=en&hash=M8J5SPD (Added by mbouchard)
How do I Load MSH?
Once you have access to the beta site, download the beta version of the .NET Framework 2.0 (a 24mb download), and the MSH Preview version (4.1 mb) from the downloads page. Once downloaded, run Dotnetfx.exe to install the .NET Framework, then run Windows command shell preview.exe to install MSH.
MSH Language Details
For a quick overview to the MSH Language, see MSHQuickStart.
This contains a simple overview of the key parts of the MSH language syntax. This is not meant an alternative to the full product manuals that will no doubt arrive in due course, but is a useful reference if you know what you want to do, but just can't quite remember it!
