Windows Management Instrumentation. Sounds boring, right? But it makes Windows manageable. Ever want to do something on thousands of desktops? WMI lets you do it. Hope you enjoy meeting this team and learning about what they do as much as I did. en Sat, 18 May 2013 16:20:16 GMT Sat, 18 May 2013 16:20:16 GMT Rev9 Re: Alain Lissoir - Managing Windows with WMI

Also the MSDN WMI scripting primer series is well worth a look!

MS Script Center: http://www.microsoft.com/technet/scriptcenter/default.mspx
The new WMI Code Generator:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=2cc30a64-ea15-4661-8da4-55bbc145c30e&displaylang=en

The latter generates VBScript but also C# and VB.NET.

Hope this helps

Since they were talking about backwards compatibility around that time I'll digress and talk about Raymond Chen's recent blog post, in which he was talking about backwards compatibility in Windows (yet again Smiley. In the comments that came in for that post someone said "NO wonder people are dumping windows for Macs", which was quite amusing -- gee,  I wonder if lack of backwards compatibility could have something to do with Apple's poor market share, or the fact that software running on MacOS is, shall we say, scarce?

Needless to say that user was taken aside and given a talk about how things are "in the real world", for an operating system used by millions of people the world over.

Reymond also posted a new entry today talking about the importance of dealing with a situation effectively and working around mistakes from the past instead of sitting around wasting time pointing fingers, assining blame, and discussing how "we wouldn't be in this mess if...".

Some quotes:
"Well, if you had worn a life preserver, then you wouldn't be drowning. It's your own damn fault."
"As a lifeguard, you first rescue the drowning person, and then you lecture them for not wearing a life preserver."
