3. * From wikipedia:
* Windows PowerShell is Microsoft's task
automation framework, consisting of a
command-line shell and associated scripting
language built on top of, and integrated with
the .NET Framework. PowerShell provides full
access to COM and WMI, enabling
administrators to perform administrative tasks
on both local and remote Windows systems.
