There's discussion already about Microsoft assisting in getting this project re-started.

I'll take your word for it that Apple probably won't do a damned thing but bitch about Microsoft. It's the way of the ecosystem.

Discussion in the open community? (Got a link?)

Or internal at MS?

I can't imagine Apple would see any benefit (from their POV) in dedicating resources to porting Powershell to the Mac. If Mac users want it, that will goose the open source community into action to produce a Mac port. Apple's got other much larger fish to fry.

And I can't imagine Apple would bitch about Microsoft, in this context at least. It's probably a complete who-cares to them.
