As a LAMP developer considering moving to a .Net IIS platform, one of my concerns is the loss of productivity due to lack of shell… Has anyone else had this experience? Is there possibly a Linux shell equivalent for Windows?

Depending on what version of IIS you’re considering, I would second lbrandy’s recommendation to check out PowerShell. Microsoft is working on a PowerShell provider for IIS (specifically version 7). There is a decent post about this at http://blogs.iis.net/thomad/archive/2008/04/14/iis-7-0-powershell-provider-tech-preview-1.aspx. The upcoming version of PowerShell will also add remoting capabilities so that you can remotely manage machines. PowerShell is quite different from *NIX shells, though, so that is something to consider.
Hope this helps.
