Windows Shell Environment

While playing around with my Windows XP, I tried looking around for alternatives for the crude CMD.EXE Command Prompt. I tried several alternatives for gaining the same *Nix-Shell flexibility I get while using my *Nix plaform. In the end, I have narrowed my choice to two Window shell environment. These are Cygwin and Windows Powershell

I will post next time detailed difference between the two Windows shell environment. Here some screenshots from my machine:
