Overview

"This is a very good concept, and will be useful to people new to PowerShell." --Marco Shaw, MVP - Windows Server – Admin Frameworks

Windows PowerShell is a modern object-based command shell and scripting language designed for Microsoft Windows. Along with the normal shell features for working with files and programs, it also provides for direct access to all of Windows though the Windows Object Models: .NET, COM and WMI.

This refcard covers starting and using Windows PowerShell, including the syntax for all statements, operators and other elements of the language. Also included are examples of how to use .NET, COM, ADSI and WMI objects from PowerShell. Finally, it includes tips and tricks—short examples showing how to perform common tasks from PowerShell.

There appears to be a type in the "Arithmetic operators" section, specifically regarding the modulus operator in the table.

The text in the "Example" column is "7/4", with an entry in the "Result" column of "3" -- wouldn't you want to have the "Example" column contain "7%4"?
