More Monad
Monad continues to inspire me, I have written about it a few times and am really excited about the long term potential for automation within Windows. However the casual observer might find it difficult to understand this potential, in which case I recommend looking at way the Exchange team decided to integrate Monad into Exchange 12 and a recently published example showing how Monad can be used to automate the spell checking of a directory of files, using Words spell checker. This snip gives you an idea of the power:
$wordApp = New-Object -com Word.Application
get-content (dir *.txt) | foreach {ParseFileForWord $_} | where {!$wordApp.CheckSpelling($_)} | Sort -unique
$wordApp.quit()
