[Tutor] Windows Power Shell

A recent windows update delivered the Windows Power Shell to my 
desktop.

I'd heard of this but never used it till now. I've only started 
playing with it but
it is essentially DOS on steroids. It brings Windows users a shell 
that seems
to be very close to Unix shells like Bash in power and flexibility 
(and scripting
language). It's very early days yet, but I wondered if any other tutor 
members
had started using WPS?

Some examples of the extra features include regex,  objects, process 
control,
remote invocation, better loop structures etc...

Regards,

Alan G.
