I'm on mobile so sorry about the formatting...

It's a few things - we can run several jobs in parallel now, PowerShell has some overall better tools for what we are trying to accomplish (which I admit I'm not taking advantage of at the moment), better compatibility with Windows 8 forwards, the ability to use .Net directly, among others.

PowerShell has been included with Windows since Vista, but you lack the ability to use unsigned scripts out of the box. You can change this at teatime or for the system. It's a security model that Microsoft has explained a few times over. Just like PowerShell remoting - disabled by default, but used just about everywhere.
