See Powershell's Start-Job[0] Get-Job[1] Remove-Job[2]. > Windows Powershell does not come close to the feature set or expressiveness that bash+the Linux userland can have in the hands of someone who knows what they're doing. Well nobody can argue that Powershell doesn't have just under fifty years of back-catalogue. That's obviously a massive advantage and head start, as is the expertise that comes along with it. As to the "expressiveness," I'd need to know more specifically what you're referring to to address that point.
