Microsoft Windows PowerShell command line shell and scripting language helps IT professionals achieve greater control and productivity. Using a new admin-focused scripting language, more than 130 standard command line tools, and consistent syntax and utilities, Windows PowerShell allows IT professionals to more easily control system administration and accelerate automation. Windows PowerShell is easy to adopt, learn, and use, because it works with your existing IT infrastructure and existing script investments, and because it runs on Windows XP, Windows Vista, and Windows Server 2003. Windows PowerShell is now included as part of Windows Server 2008 and can be evaluated in Windows Server 2008 Beta 3. Exchange Server 2007, System Center Operations Manager 2007, System Center Data Protection Manager V2, and System Center Virtual Machine Manager also leverage Windows PowerShell to improve administrator control, efficiency, and productivity.

i really like using it.
A ton of features, you can basically do anything you want in it. Had no problems with performance, it is very stable. The interface, even for a command line, is tough because I'm still use to *nix shell commands.
Still trying to figure it all out. Prolly gonna be a lot more useful once we get Exchange 2007.
I'd use it more often as a shell if Win+r -> "cmd" wasn't already hardwired into my brain. It holds much promise as a scripting language, but the current release lacks proper administrative interfaces into many parts of Windows.
Now we finally have a truly viable shell for windows.
