If Windows had a decent command line / shell (has its suckyness

Old Windows Shell will be replaced by this one:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_PowerShell
But I've read long time ago that usability of Windows Shells is limited
not just because the syntax is weak, but, what's more important, process
startup delay is much longer than in Linux, thus, calling of lots of
external console programs to perform complex actions would be much
slower at the same machine. My own scripts (eg mediawiki video sitemap
generator seem to prove that)
