Only insofar as I have seen various example scripts in various places.
It looks like it's very powerful, and I greatly applaud the notion that
you will eventually be able to control all aspects of the system from
the command line (I'm not going to get myself started on this topic).
To me personally, it looks very verbose, and I don't find it at all
intuitive. That may simply be because I'm much more familiar with bash
and Perl though. But it always bugs me when M$ has to go and re-invent,
poorly, something that already exists and is proven, simply because it
wasn't invented there.
For example, why not expand on the existing Perl WMI modules and make
Perl the "scripting" language? See New Rider's _Win32 Perl Scripting:
The Administrator's Handbook_ http://www.roth.net/books/handbook/.
Oh well,

"Microsoft Tax" = the additional hardware & yearly fees for the add-on
software required to protect Windows from its own poorly designed and
implemented self, while the overhead incidentally flattens Moore's Law.
