Powershell 1.2 - PowerShell Versions

PowerShell has five different PowerShell versions currently available.
PowerShell 2.0 and PowerShell 3.0 were major releases, with many new important features.

PowerShell 4.0 was only released one year after PowerShell 3.0. Thus, we couldn’t expect too many enhancements. Its main new feature is Desired State Configuration (DSC), a new platform for
managing Windows services and their environment.
