Microsoft Outlines Monad Project

September 15, 2005

Microsoft's Bob Muglia on Thursday morning outlined Monad, the new command-line shell that's fully integrated into .NET to enable text-based control over Windows applications and services. Muglia said Monad was the first mainstream command-line that focuses on object-oriented programming.

Muglia also explained how Microsoft is undergoing a project "to get a full set of Monad commands across Windows Server and Windows Server applications." In order to accomplish this goal, Microsoft's graphical consoles will use the same .NET commands as Monad.

Monad is a "really important step from a management perspective. And I think it's a great opportunity," Muglia said. The final release of Monad is due in 2006.
