What's the deal with PowerShell?

Here is the VBScript code to list services:

strComputer = "."

Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:" & "{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!\\" & strComputer & "\root\cimv2")

Set colServiceList = objWMIService.ExecQuery("Select * from Win32_Service")

For Each objService in colServiceList

wscript.echo objService.name

Here is the script to do the same thing in PowerShell: 

Get-Service

Which would you rather memorize?
