   It's more consistent than the command line and related utilities in   
   Windows for one. Also, instead of manipulating text output, PowerShell   
   handles objects. So for instance, a pipe command:   
      
   Get-NetAdapter | where {$_.Name -eq 'Ethernet'}   
      
   Unlike cmd.exe the output from Get-NetAdapter is a list of objects, not   
   just a bunch of text output. The default output from the above command   
   would be a table, however, because the output is an object, you can do   
   something like:   
      
   Get-NetAdapter | where {$_.Name -eq 'Ethernet'} | fl   
      
   Which gives the same output but in a list format instead. (The 'fl' is   
   an alias for Format-List.)   
      
   Some of Microsoft's own GUI tools are actually running PowerShell behind   
   the scenes (Active Directory Administration Tool for example). Well   
   worth learning in my opinion.
