powershell

Take note: This may be the only good thing that I ever say about Microsoft products.

I like Windows PowerShell.

I downloaded it last night and played around with it a bit.  Instead of manipulating text strings like other shells, this one manipulates objects.  I suppose that various operating systems are just too different to come up with a common command set to make a cross-platform list of shell commands.  Still, I like it even if it is Windows-specific.
