Better security?

:-)


All kidding aside, one of the big holes in previous versions of Windows
Enterprise versions is the lack of a decent command line tool. This was 
huge issue for Cust's with very large batch environments, so MS have
come out with Powershell.

A gui is good for interactive work, but terrible for heavily customized
batch and low level system mgmt work.
