 Windows PowerShell is the next generation cmd prompt and scripting language from Microsoft. It can be a replacement for vbscript and for the cmd prompt in most circumstances.

   How can you be sure that was thirty words or less?

   By using the following code:

$a = “Windows PowerShell is the next generation cmd prompt and scripting language from Microsoft. It can be a replacement for vbscript and for the cmd prompt in most circumstances.”
