<p>Hey, a two-word name! Kudos to the marketing department.</p>
<p>Why rename Monad? Well, replace the &quot;M&quot; with a &quot;G&quot; and you can see one theory of why the name had to be changed. I still like Monad, though.</p>
<p><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monad">Wikipedia entry on Monad</a>.</p>
<p>I hear the new name will be announced officially <strike>tomorrow</strike> this&nbsp;morning and that <a href="http://blogs.msdn.com/monad/">the Monad blog</a> will have more details then.</p>
<p>Don&#039;t know what Monad is? Jeffrey Snover, <a href="http://channel9.msdn.com/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=25506">in this Channel 9 video, explains and demos</a>.</p>
<p>Update: the <a href="http://blogs.msdn.com/PowerShell/">new PowerShell blog</a> is now up.</p>
