I think that scripting in "monad" is everything then simplier
then scripting plain *.cmd.
Still, if You get used to it, it is becoming like:
Fast-Ninja-GetItDoneInASecond-IFinallyHaveAPower tool :)
+ when You combine Objects-Nice CmdLets and WMI, You get something
beautifle.

In real production life I'm using VBScript for everything, but
"monad", when used to it is Dramatically Faster! (!!!).

- I hate that new Vista build have plain and old cmd.exe - still, saw that
few commands are extended! - my bow!
- I pray that "monad" will have remoting (!!!) and maybe (I hope) something
that will give it an easy screen capabillity.

- I used IE7 Beta1 for a little, found that You cannot move the Upper
Address bar on any other place from the Top of the screen (WTF ?!)
- Download Dialog is still crappy with no pause/r., adv. futures (still,
maybe someone will write the extension ?! - WHICH Should be Signald on
MarketPlace! btw. - as any other Windows, Shell, Explorer, IE, mmc Plugin,
etc.!!!)
- It uses 20MB with one blank tab opened, 7MB when minimized and 36MB of
VM - this is way too much!
- You can Uninstall it :)))) :p
- did not test Phishsing plugin - there is Must "send alert to microsoft
when you come across potential phishing web page" if You want it enabled.

etc., etc.
