I decided to blog them BEFORE the CTP because when you see what is in the CTP \u2013 most of you will make a mad rush to download it and use it. It has some amazingly cool stuff in it (you&#8217;ll hear more about that next week). You really need to read and understand my 3 blogs before making the decision to participate in the CTP: <\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.msdn.com\/powershell\/archive\/2007\/11\/02\/ctp-ctp-beta.aspx\">CTP != Beta !<\/a> <\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.msdn.com\/powershell\/archive\/2007\/11\/02\/ctp-platform-requirements.aspx\">Platform Requirements<\/a> <\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.msdn.com\/powershell\/archive\/2007\/11\/02\/ctp-versioning.aspx\">Versioning<\/a> <\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>One point is worth making again (and again): Things WILL change. If you are going to be disappointed or angry if we refactor our APIs or change our naming or tweak our semantics and break all your (CTP-specific) code\/scripts \u2013 you should not use the CTP. <\/p>\n<p>Bloggers \u2013 please do me a favor. If you pick up the CTP and start writing about it, please include a reference to this blog entry. Consider adding the words: <\/p>\n<p>The PowerShell V2 CTP is not for everyone. You should read this PowerShell Team blog entry ( <a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.msdn.com\/powershell\/archive\/2007\/11\/02\/ctp-watch-this-space.aspx\">http:\/\/blogs.msdn.com\/powershell\/archive\/2007\/11\/02\/ctp-watch-this-space.aspx<\/a>&nbsp;) to find out what it is and what it isn&#8217;t and then make an informed decision before installing the CTP. <\/p>\n<p>I given lots of caution and caveats today but for those of you that participate in the CTP \u2013 I think you are going to be very pleased by what you see. Then again \u2013 if you aren&#8217;t \u2013 you can tell us and there is a good chance that we&#8217;ll be able to do something about it before we ship! <\/p>\n<p>Jeffrey Snover [MSFT]<br \/>Windows Management Partner Architect<br \/>Visit the Windows PowerShell Team blog at: <a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.msdn.com\/PowerShell\">http:\/\/blogs.msdn.com\/PowerShell<\/a><br \/>Visit the Windows PowerShell ScriptCenter at: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/technet\/scriptcenter\/hubs\/msh.mspx\">http:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/technet\/scriptcenter\/hubs\/msh.mspx<\/a> <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Next week we&#8217;ll be releasing a Community Technology Preview (CTP) of Windows PowerShell V2.0.
