Kind of worrying that the inventor of PowerShell could make such a mistake. Reminds be of when rvm used an alias for "cd", which was even worse. Making up alias for popular tools such as cd, curl or wget is always a bad idea both for security and practical reasons since it breaks many tools in non-obvious ways and can be hijacked etc. It's great though that it's being fixed.
I installed PS on my ubuntu last night, it works but I don't really see the point in using it on anything but windows. Last thing I need is worry whether my scripts will run on my custom shell script as if running ubuntu didn't come with its own issues to worry about already.
