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

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

Or internal at MS?

> 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.

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.

I communicate with people at MS and in the MVP community fairly regularly via email and Twitter. There's some talk of moving the project to the PoshCode site, but nothing official yet.

I'll let you know when they get the project team together. In the meantime you can go back to the comfortable notion that it can't be any better than what you have now.
