For TechEd US, I even wrote a simple powershell provider that makes SQL Server look at a file system (NavigationCmdletProvider through the database objects), and showed the code.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nI&#39;ll be doing another chalktalk at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.microsoft.com\">TechEd Developers, Europe<\/a>, next week&#8230; with a twist. A few weeks ago, I&#39;d been informed of plans to include a <strong>Powershell NavigationCmdletProvider provider that&#39;s shipped as part of SQL Server 2008!
