I'm glad you pointed out it was earned, it's not as though the anti-Microsoft culture came from thin air

As your emphasizing comment embodies, that culture is still strong, and seems incorrigible. Microsoft are The Unredeemable. Even their current era of open sourcing isn't enough to wash away the sins of the past executives.

On a more topical note, one of the limitations of Powershell is it can only do basic math and (obviously) basic Algebra. To extend this, you can invoke .NET from the command line. Try these:

> $Area = [math]::pi

> $eight = [math]::pow( 2, 3 )
