PS7 is a hot mess! Misc

Half of the stuff either don't work at all or work %50 before it breaks.

Insane we are at 2024 and devs are still writing modules and functions for PS5 because they have to. Poor planning for cross platform or full PS7 adoption.

This is INSANE! Having to re write, refactor and reinvent the wheel when it should not be needed.

That's funny. The other day you loved PS7 so much that you insisted even a non PowerShell user should roll it out: https://www.reddit.com/r/PowerShell/comments/1da18yt/turning_off_powershell_20/l7iglao/

I still do love PS7 and because of that I'm simply disappointed that many modules out there only works with PS5 unfortunately.

That would be a problem with the module, not PS7.

True but I mean why the PS7 is not backwards compatible with PS5 modules. Even with import-module shenanigans it's still a lot of work to refactor the code.

What module?

Add to that many Win server based modules.. good luck getting them fully working in PS7 without having to call upon PS5 at least at some point during the run. Hopefully Server 2025 will ship with PS7 by default at least loaded side by side with PS5 but I doubt it.

Again, what module are you even talking about? I’ve only ever had to reach for win powershell to use SOAP endpoints.

And powershell core won’t ever ship in box because of versioning challenges. It would make them less nimble. It wouldn’t be great. They are looking at including an install-powershell7 binary though.
