I am a big supporter of Powershell, and while Powershell has supported remoting since almost day one, it will never enjoy quite as much support as SSH already receives (e.g. third party tools, firewall support, etc). It is also nice that they're looking into using something fairly "proven" secure, OpenSSH is exposed to the internet a lot (even if, yes, that is not best practice) so we can reasonably expect it to withstand day to day attacks.
In general people really are starting to run out of reasons to "hate" Microsoft. It will be interesting to see what they come up with in the future...
PS - I really hope later they expand this to SFTP support. SFTP is significantly better than either FTP or FTPS, and something Windows has lacked since forever.
