Somehow we went from Unix to Linux.
For me, the fact that windows doesn't have anything near as powerful as sed, awk and grep is a deal killer
By what measure is Powershell not nearly as powerful as sed, awk, and grep?
I don't know. Tell me how you'd find a list of all duplicate files on your computer with powershell. I'm talking of actual duplicate files here. The names may be different, but the files are exactly the same by actual content.
I have a 5-line bit of shellcode that does a pretty good job of it.
