"what does PowerShell offer in the way of "automation" that is so much superior to bash and *nix command line program?"

1- it runs on both unix and windows .. and hopefully more in the future

2- uniformity, all command have the same form, verb-noun

3- discover-ability, you dont need google to find the cmdlet, you can glob search the help system

4- support, there are cmdlets for many systems that bash will never, ever, ever, ever approach or support

5- GUI, you can create a GUI in powershell

More than that, it has the entire CLR at its disposal, including the C FFI.
