In case there was any doubt that Microsoft's war against Linux is (mostly (http://www.engadget.com/2015/03/07/microsoft-sues-kyocera/)) over (http://www.engadget.com/2014/11/13/dot-net-framework-comes-to-linux-and-mac/), the company just offered another olive branch. The company has revealed (http://blogs.msdn.com/b/looking_forward_microsoft__support_for_secure_shel l_ssh1/archive/2015/06/02/managing-looking-forward-microsoft-support-for-secure-shell-ssh.aspx) that its PowerShell team is working on support for the Secure Shell protocol and shell sessions (aka SSH) to make it easier for Windows- and Linux-based PCs to connect to and remotely control each other. While SSH has been an option in the Windows world, Microsoft's Angel Calvo says there have been "limited implementations" so far -- this would simplify things and give you "tight integration" with Windows that wasn't feasible before. It's too early to tell when the feature will be available, but it's at least in the cards.
