Windows PowerShell 2.0 CTP released

The PowerShell team released a Community Technology Preview of PowerShell 2.0 this week. They have had a number of posts over the last week about this new released.

• CTP != Beta (defines the supportability and state of the CTP)
• CTP: Platform Requirements (requirements for running the CTP
• CTP: Versioning (How does PowerShell 2.0 work with old scripts?)
• Announcing the release of the CTP
• What is new in the CTP of PowerShell 2.0?
• PowerShell v2 book available

I've loaded it and I like the "graphical" PowerShell it has promise, but currently lacks auto-completion. My favorite improvements:

1. PowerShell remoting
2. Background jobs
3. Graphical PowerShell
4. Script-based cmdlets
