[Powershell] What a piece of $#!+

Wow. So, Powershell is Microsoft's idea of UNIX: a command-line shell. Unfortunately, more than a bit half-assed, even with version 2.0.

I grabbed a module to allow UI scripting. Here's what I have to do in order to run a simple Hello World with it:

1. download Powershell
   
2. download PowerShellPack
   
3. install both
   
4. start Powershell
   
5. Set-ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted (so I can run scripts)
   
6. Import-Module PowerShellPack (needs to be done each time)
   
7. Hit ctrl+c because it's going to ask me once per script, and there are about 50. And, each time I run powershell.
   
8. Set-ExecutionPolicy Bypass (hello, usefulness, goodbye protection. Grrrr)
   
9. Import-Module PowerShellPack
   
10. Import-Module WPK
    
11. New-Label "Hello, World" -Show
    
12. get odd error: Exception calling ".ctor" with "0" argument(s): "The calling thread must be STA, because many UI components require this."
    
13. read blog
    
14. change shortcut to Powershell to add -STA
    
15. restart Powershell
    
16. Import-Module PowerShellPack
    
17. Import-Module WPK
    
18. New-Label "Hello, World" -Show
    

Success!

WTF. Am I a bad person if I wonder why the hell I have to jump through all these hoops?
