In 2006, Microsoft released Windows Powershell, a new command line shell that, via cmdlets, scripts, and executables, allow core system administration tasks to be scripted. While this functionality has been available on Unix-type systems for decades, Microsoft's version will almost certainly, within a few years, be available on several hundred million PCs. So how does the Powershell stack up against Linux favorite bash? MSDN links to this Bash vs Powershell article.

I don't get PowerShell. After years of hype, after a couple of studied books on PowerShell, it is still feels like a overweight, totally-incompatible and awkward way of automating/scripting things.
It can't replace the BAT files.
For simple tasks, I prefer just built-in, established means (bash on Unix, BAT files on Windows). For more advanced things, there is always Perl/Ruby/Python.
