One of the things that Windows administrators have long complained about is that
Windows was not designed from the beginning to be text-driven.
Some called the arrival of Microsoft's command-line shell and scripting language, code-named Monad, the death of DOS after it was unveiled at the Professional Developers Conference in 2003. Now, the software giant is set to release its first operating system with Monad capabilities.
While Monad is expected in Longhorn, the next-generation of the Windows operating system, it will be incorporated in Windows Server 2003 R2 later this year, said analyst Peter Pawlak, of Directions on Microsoft, in Kirkland, Wash.
