Fire it up, nice blue background, ps google* returns processes starting with 'google'.

ipconfig /all same as cmd
ls works like linux and unix showing directories.
Here is a difference, bat files are run with a ./ like linux does. Windows copying linux ideas? Check.
'alias' gives you a list of commands that can be run.
Making an error gives a useful red color with black background, that is a good idea!
Hey this is new, I can get information about a single process very easily.
Get information about get-process
ping still works.
