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 really love Microsoft Marketing. They are so impressive. They rediscover stuff, (recode also) and explain to anybody they have the best stuff around
Good job guys! Powershell only takes half a minute to launch! the command lines are soooo simple ... --laughing-out-loud ... it's (as always?) not compatible with anything (because 99% of apps on windows have no command line options) It requires the almighty .Net version 3.X framework to work :|
Well in a Vista world, I just can say that Powershell is not that bad
