PowerShell’s verbosity

So far, considering a first month of usage, things look very verbose in Windows PowerShell when compared to Linux in day to day operations.

Checking free memory, for example. You have to make a call to a system’s object.

In Linux, the same operation is abstracted to a simple short named app intuitively called ‘free’.

And by passing ‘-h’ parameter it will give you human readable results. I don’t know if there is a similar parameter in PowerShell but, if there is, it is going to add up to that already excessive verbose command in exchange to trivial information.

It seems that people at HN also share the same opinion about PS.
