Not sure what you mean... PowerShell Console is one of the most modern and advanced consoles there is and it's from Microsoft (compared to old non object oriented and pipelined stuff like cmd here in the article) - but it's still good to see that they haven't forgotten about the good old cmd.exe :)

You're mistaking the shell for the console. As the article quite clearly points out, there's a vast difference between both, even though when you look at a console application (such as a shell) you kind of always see both.
