Having a Bash subsystem isn't really enough to do real work.You need the rest of the subsystems that go along with it, like sed, awk, grep, perl, cut, tail and the like, not to mention ssh. It's the Gnu toolbox that gives the command like real power to manipulate things. I've got some scripts that run through crontab on the systems that I support that do some really amazing things for me. Sure would be nice to have a 'write once, use anywhere' architecture for such things.
It's really too bad that exchange has such a huge lock on the messaging market. Without MS-Exchange and MS-Office, there would be no place for Microsoft.
