I recently wrote a post about PowerShell Aliasing for the folks over at ScriptRunner.
The one issue I had while researching for this post was this:

Whats the first thing coming to mind when seeing a command line?
For most people it is Linux, be it Ubuntu, Debian or RedHat. And it is completely understandable. A big part of our industry has a background in Linux and sees it as the superior system for quick scripts and the like.
