Hello

I have recently discovered that, as early as 2006, M$ Windows decided to give 
up the ghost and implement a UNIX-emulating shell called power shell for the 
purpose of "serious" system administration. 

Scripting is surprisingly BASH-like, commands exist like ls, rm, mv, and so on. 
ps gives a process status; and syntax like

     foreach ($i in 1 .. 5) {echo $($i*8)}

is actually supported.

Anyone tried this shell? Any comments on it?
