I'd say that $_ is really weird and looks horrible. Also having to do (10 * 1024 * 1024) instead of just writing 10MB is a downgrade even compared to POSIX-compliant sh. In my other comment I've added a few examples in sh, zsh, and a better PowerShell example: gci | ? Length -gt 10MB | sort LastWriteTime
