You're right with the caveat that they can also be powershell scripts. Anyone arguing that PS isn't really just 'scriptable .Net' is unfamiliar with the more advanced ideas of PS. PS is different things to different people, but from a pure tech perspective the above is an apt description of PS. edit: I should also mention I find the idea of using PS as an example of an easy, intuitive shell to be laughable at best. Anyone who believes that has definitely tried to do much more than simply Get-Item, New-Item, type things. Once you start getting into more advanced things it becomes a hairy mess.
