Here at TechEd EMEA Jeffrey Snover has just announced detailed release schedule for PowerShell v2 (currently available as CTP 2):
- December 2008 – CTP 3 (Community Technology Preview) or Beta 1 if it meets the internal criteria and all names/features are finalized.
- RTM – end of 2009/early 2010 as part of Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2.
- RTM for XP, 2003, Vista, and 2008 – as a downloadable package (with new WinRM bundled in there) a few months after that (that is H1 2010).
This is the first time these details were announced – common expectation was that PowerShell v2 would become available as a standalone package for all platforms mid-2009.
