State of the Shell
summary
PowerShell announces concrete changes and measurable results: 27 releases since last year and telemetry hitting 1.3 billion sessions in March, plus thousands of PRs and millions of Gallery downloads. Demos show PSReadLine predictive intellisense, a concise error view with Get-Error, SecretManagement + SecretStore and Azure KeyVault extensions, Cloud Shell improvements, and Crescendo wraps native commands as cmdlets. Engine changes make piping native executables now works and native commands respect error-action semantics, and the live demos mostly succeed after a few glitches.
