I used to work on CBS (that's the team I just quit). Trust me, it is the
latest but it certainly isn't the greatest. <smile/>

Subject: [WiX-users] New Official Installation Technology? CBS? What?
I saw this while doing some digging as to why PowerShell RTM isn't available
for Vista:

Yes - the only difference is the installer.
Being an official Windows component means you use the official windows
installation technology and on Vista that is the new CBS technology. There is
exactly one team in the world that can build this and that team has been a tad
busy (While I sometimes think that PowerShell is more important that Vista - I
just can't seem to ever convince other people of that. :-) ).
PowerShell is the world's first Vista OutOfBand release. There are a few pain
points that come with that honor. Nothing serious but there are just some
things that are different and need a bit of time to work out. They are a great
team and are doing great work, they just need a bit of time.
Cheers!

What? Isn't the Windows Installer the latest and greatest installation
technology?
