While viewing the MS Programming languages roadmap PPT I noticed some mention of scripting and what is in store for scripting in Longhorn, a new command shell called MSH (codenamed Monad). Google shows its been covered quite well in blog space, however I am interested to see a merger of the command shell with the BCL and CLI supported languages. One mention in the PPT is that MSH is 'As programmatic as Perl/Ruby', not sure what is ment by that?

Jason Nadal (http://weblogs.asp.net/JNadal) knows as much about Monad as anyone I know. I am sure there are some posts there about it, as well as links to articles he has done.

You should really check out some of the sample scripts that show just how "programmatic" it can be...

I believe this is referring to the lack of a true piping interface in the current command shell packaged with windows, and the ability to develop cmdlets using the full scope of the .net framework. It also provides non-developers a scripting language to fully pipe existing cmdlets together (the "programmatic" part).
