(the article in the above link can apply to Windows XP too)
I would like to use the below method which simplified 9 steps to just a single command.

For example:
netsh interface ip set address "Local Area Connection" static 192.168.0.10 255.255.255.0
You can use the same command for Windows XP but I have not tried it in Windows Vista.
Have fun to do more demo ;-)

Installed Windows Server 2008 x64
I was thinking to upgrade my 32 bit Windows Server 2008 to 64 bit Windows Server 2008. I want to retain all the applications and settings that I have installed in my 32 bit Windows 2008 so instead of fresh installation I intended to upgrade.
The good parts are I can initial the installation of Visual Studio 2008, Symantec Endpoint v11 32 bit runs and JDeveloper runs without giving any problem till now.
The bad parts, perhaps need the effort of both, are Oracle 10g 64 bit keep complaining the Operating System is neither NT 5.0 nor NT 5.1 but NT 6.0 so it cannot install in it. Well, that I think Oracle part need to get it solve.
I will post more and more 64 bit stuffs because of 64 bit question is getting more in ODP.NET forum as well as others like C# General forum

I found it is not so special to run vbs (Visual Basic Script) in Windows PowerShell because most of the time you can do that using cscript with command prompt (cmd.exe).
But what I guarantee you cannot do is to change directory to a remote machine using command prompt for example, as can see from the picture below I have a machine with IP address 192.168.1.26 so I can change the directory to c root of this machine by cd \\192.168.1.26\c$. I can perform other file operation directly in the remote machine such as make directory, copy file(s), delete directory and more.
In the past in order to manipulate files in between two or more machines you might need to map a network drive with a local drive letter. Windows Powershell gives me a better way to do this today.
In order to get to know more about Windows PowerShell go to script center :http://www.microsoft.com/technet/scriptcenter/hubs/msh.mspx.
Please feedback if you have other tips.
