PowerShellIDE 1.0	It is a graphical user interface that helps explore and exploit the vast power available with PowerShell. It contains a debugger, lets you step through PowerShell scripts, explore variables as you run your scripts and also supports many Intellisense-like functions. Currently, PowerShellIDE is absolutely free. It is an experimental editor we programmed to learn more about PowerShell. Eventually, its functionality will be integrated into our award-winning script editor SystemScripter.	Ian Morrish	9/1/2006
