It would make more sense to the average user if they did make it that..

You don't need vista for MSH, i been MSHing for about 1 year (not much over
1 year, but that's how long I've had it installed)

MSH is a new shell, its not like your norm shell with stdin and stdout being
strings, its all object based.

it comes with the windows SDK rumor has it that it will ship with the next
exchange, not sure if it will ship with vista, maybe longhorn.
