PowerShell Integrated Scripting Environment PowerShell scripts are standard text files. With Windows Vista and earlier versions of Windows, the built-in editor was Notepad. While Notepad is perfect for quickly editing text files, and it is sufficient for writing scripts, a more robust editor would enable IT professionals to learn, create, and debug scripts more efficiently.
