Not only does this book cover really practical use cases for automation with powershell, but it also gives some of the best insight into some of the new features of win 2012 server that I've seen, including BranchCache, Cifs high availability, new AD features, new file sharing features etc...Well worth a read!

Just got the KINDLE version of this book, it's BEAUTIFUL. I can't tell you how many kindle books for the Kindle on PC have horrible black and white grainy pictures with too small print that you can't expand. This one has all the colors (including the different PowerShell colorings, vivid screen captures and all. The First Kindle book for PC that I actually like!
