One of the wisest sayings about software development goes like this, “To release is to choose.” It stems from the idea that if you wait for release until you have a software product with all the features users might want, your development cycle will be endless; there will always be more and more ideas, better ways to implement something, a faster algorithm that will make a difference in some scenarios. You cannot do this forever. Well, you can, but the market will not wait for you. The product will share Duke Nukem Forever’s destiny—it will remain nothing more than vaporware. The PowerShell team heeded that lesson very well—there are a ton of useful commands and enhancements that never made it for the version 1.0 release. The team decided that what we have now is good enough and will provide a lot of value to users, even without some of the bells and whistles they could have added. These keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.
