I find that in the environments I touch it's usually Windows default until I actually need additional functionality.

Yes pretty much all of my machines have PowerShell installed. Even the Linux ones. We have been using azure quite a bit and PS is pretty much a requirement for us. The azure cli works better but for some strange reason our devs prefer PS over bash/shell scripting
Nope. I support Exchange servers and PS7 is not supported on those.
Sorry, I’m confused by what you mean here. Do you mean that PS7 is not compatible with the Exchange Powershell module?
The Exchange Online module will work with it, but it's unsupported to install PS7 on on-premises Exchange servers. They only support whatever version that comes with the OS version you've installed Exchange on.
Ack! I did not realize that. I checked my environment and I realized I took it for granted because I run PS7 and pssession into my Exchange server. I guess I didn’t even think!
If you are remoting into Exchange it's probably fine, I honestly don't know what their stance is on that. You just can't install v7 ON the actual Exchange servers.
