Windows PowerShell V3.0 download available

PowerShell V3.0 has been released as part of Windows Server 2012, but you do not have to wait it though! The final release of Windows Management Framework 3.0 is also available for download from the Microsoft Download Center.

Windows Management Framework 3.0 makes much of the same great management functionality from Windows Server 2012 available to earlier versions of Windows. Windows Management Framework 3.0 allows you to install Windows PowerShell 3.0 (including a new version of WMI and WinRM) on the following Operating Systems:

Windows 7 Service Pack 1 (32-bit & 64-bit)
Windows Server 2008 R2 Service Pack 1 (64-bit only, includes Server Core)
Windows Server 2008 Service Pack 2 (32-bit & 64-bit)

Some of the new features in Windows PowerShell 3.0 include:

Workflow : Windows PowerShell Workflow lets IT Pros and developers apply the benefits of workflows to the automation capabilities of Windows PowerShell. Workflows allow administrators to run long-running tasks (which can be made repeatable, frequent, parallelizable, interruptible, or restart-able) that can affect multiple managed computers or devices at the same time.
Disconnected Sessions: PowerShell sessions can be disconnected from the remote computer and reconnected later from the same computer or a different computer without losing state or causing running commands to fail.
Robust Session Connectivity: Remote sessions are resilient to network failures and will attempt to reconnect for several minutes. If connectivity cannot be reestablished, the session will automatically disconnect itself so that it can be reconnected when network connectivity is restored.
Scheduled Jobs: scheduled jobs that run regularly or in response to an event.
Delegated Administration: Commands that can be executed with a delegated set of credentials so users with limited permissions can run critical jobs
Simplified Language Syntax: Simplified language syntax that make commands and scripts look a lot less like code and a lot more like natural language.
Cmdlet Discovery: Improved cmdlet discovery and automatic module loading that make it easier to find and run any of the cmdlets installed on your computer.
Show-Command: Show-Command, a cmdlet and ISE Add-On that helps users find the right cmdlet, view its parameters in a dialog box, and run it.
