Actually I prefer Powershell's approach to transfer objects, as it is more flexible than standardize in a specific transfer format.

But I do concede that it has the downside that if the object lacks the properties you want to access, then it might be painful in some cases.

But it is not like you cannot do normal string processing using cmdlets like "Select-String". And an object missing a property is almost same a column missing in the returned text output right?

Good point, I've forgotten about that.
