I suggest using Cygwin over Powershell. Where Linux lacks in commercial support, it makes up for with free alternatives. Now that Steam is on Linux, new games are hitting it just about every day. Games and other software also aren't that tedious to get working in WINE if you know what you're doing. Also, I still can't swap out the NT kernel for a custom one. That's another area where Windows fails. It's the only system you can't run a custom kernel on (and I don't want to get into it about the more obscure, ReactOS spin offs).
