[wildfly-dev] Powershell scripts

[Brian Stansberry]

Thanks for posting this.

I'm curious if anyone on the list has concerns about the .bat scripts 
now delegating the powershell ones. The advantages are obvious; the 
disadvantages I really don't know.

I only occasionally use Windows in a VM, so I haven't really kept up 
with what is supported in what versions of Windows. I know Powershell 
has been around a long, long time.
