Subject: [COFF] Powershell better than Bourne shell?

I recently had a discussion with some colleagues on the topic of
shells. Two people whom I respect both told me that Microsoft's
Powershell runs rings round the Bourne shell.
Somehow that sounds like anathema to me, but it's not beyond the
bounds of possibility. Before I waste time investigating, can anybody
here give me some insights?
