IOW, it's aimed at *secure* batch use for paranoid sysadmins.

According to microsoft.com:

"""
Windows PowerShell® is a task-based command-line shell and scripting
language designed especially for system administration. Built on the
.NET Framework, Windows PowerShell® helps IT professionals and power
users control and automate the administration of the Windows operating
system and applications that run on Windows.
"""

Which would seem to indicate that it targets both interactive and
scripting uses.
