powershell
Windows PowerShell was released by Microsoft for Windows XP in 2007. It is an automation engine that consists of a scripting language and command line shell.
Powershell is integrated into the Microsoft.net Framework and generally used by system administrators for local and remote administrative tasks.
Powershell 2.0 was released with Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2 and has since then been made available for previous Microsoft operating systems as well via the Windows Management Framework.
Powershell 2.0 added many new features including background jobs, remoting, modules or advanced functions.
You'll find bloggers talking about Powershell at sites like Windows Powershell Blog and Windows 7 News.
