What has been your most arcane technical skill? by run.dll2004-12-12 16:22:03
  I'm still pretty good at DOS batch files by SnappingTurtle2004-12-12 16:26:17
    Batch files aren't going anywhere. by IronPIP 2004-12-12 18:30:36
Although batch file language may (hopefully soon) be supplanted by something with a little more power. Like Perl. That's what I want to see in Longhorn -- OS-level perl interpretation.

... on second thought, after considering MS JVM, maybe I DON'T want to see Microsoft's implementation of Perl.

Microsoft still makes moderate to heavy internal use of batch files, as do all the Windows-based IT departments I've worked in.
