Why cannot Microsoft get it together?

You would think since Windows 7 has been out for a while now that other programs would also be updated to properly work with it. I have a legacy PowerShell script that needs checked. I have a new Windows 7 system. Went to download PowerShell and they have a nice message at the top of the page:
System Tip This article applies to a different version of Windows than the one you are using. Content in this article may not be relevant to you. Visit the Windows 7 Solution CenterNice now show me what I should be using... Wait, they have a second line item under Windows PowerShell 2.0 for:Remote Server Administration Tools for Windows 7So did they do away with PowerShell for Windows 7 or did they just add new functionality? We may never know. :confused: Done with rant. -

I know at TechEd they kept talking about new PowerShell features/version, so maybe they're just quietly working on version 3.

In Windows 7 Ultimate it is located under AllPrograms>Accessories>WindowsPowerShell

Thank you! Why cannot MS say that, plainly, on the PowerShell home page? It would have to be obvious for me to see it as I loose interest after the first couple of paragraphs that have nothing to do with my problem. :sigh: Thanks again,
