If you're just talking about ls/dir, then PowerShell isn't really a win. The advantages are clearer when you start talking about lots and lots of commands. A lot (but not all!) Unix tools have flags to control their output format or input filters, but that means you have to memorize different flags for all of them. OTOH, in PS you just pipe to where/sort/select and they work for everything. IMO PowerShell has better separation of concerns.
