> Can you give examples where PowerShell can do something which CygWin/MinGw can't?
As those contain full programming languages which can effectively do anything with enough effort I doubt I can.
I will say the DateTime, cultural conversion, and email libraries are an absolute pleasure to work with in Powershell/.Net. Sending out email is a totally trivial exercise regardless of the style (plain text, HTML, attachments, etc).
