I've contracted in places where cmd is blocked, but Powershell is not. The mind boggles.

(For those cursed to work in Windows enterprise land, most of what is being talked about here is that Powershell is essentially .Net, e.g. '$DateTime = New-Object System.DateTime -ArgumentList 2015, 10, 10')

My IT department contacted me because their "security" software alerted them that I ran a Powershell command.

And .NET compilers actually, living on C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\
