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.

For Windows automation, check out AutoIt:
http://www.autoitscript.com/autoit3
And its distant cousin, AutoHotKey:
http://www.autohotkey.com
The former is better for GUI automation. The later is better for scriptable, system-wide hotkeys/hotstrings.
I use them both and like them both
