I’ve gotten used to using linux until I was forced to switch back to Windows because of the school campus network validation processes. What If I wanted to use (CLI) command line interface like I did in linux? I really can’t with the MS-DOS tool. MS-DOS is old and is really crippled in Windows XP, one reason is because XP is really Windows NT.

Well I wanted to find a solution so I can use linux CLI commands on Windows, browse directories, etc. Microsoft was already on it, formally called Monad, it’s now called PowerShell. It looks just like MS-DOS but has the advance features of linux or unix based CLI shells. Vista is suppose to have it!

Interested? You can grab PowerShell here and the quick start guide here!
