PowerGUI - Free PowerShell Script Editor and System Management Console (via PowerShell)
DotNetRocks - Kirk Munro on Powershell and PowerGUI
"Kirk Munro stops by to talk about PowerGUI, a free tool from Quest Software for PowerShell, including a beautiful script editor!
Kirk Munro, the world's first self-proclaimed Poshoholic, is a Senior Software Developer for Quest Software where he is very happy working as a member of the PowerGUI team. ...

These days he spends pretty much all of his time working with PowerShell and PowerGUI, writing his blog, and helping others in the PowerShell community. You can contact him by leaving him a note on his blog at http://www.poshoholic.com. "
"What is PowerGUI?
PowerGUI is an extensible graphical administrative console for managing systems based on Windows PowerShell. These include Windows OS (XP, 2003, Vista), Exchange 2007, Operations Manager 2007 and other new systems from Microsoft. The tool allows to use the rich capabilities of Windows PowerShell in a familiar and intuitive GUI console.
2. How much does it cost and is registration required?
PowerGUI is a freeware product thanks to the support we are getting from Quest Software. You can download the product and access all information on this site absolutely for free and without any registration or login. ...
...
4. What can I do with PowerGUI?
Pretty much anything that the underlying system permits. You can browse through the system, filter/sort what you get, select the columns, perform actions on selected objects, change their properties, export data to clipboard, Excel, xml, or just html reports, and much more. And if you don't believe this is all being done by Windows PowerShell just switch to another tab and you'll see the PowerShell code behind what you've been doing.

PowerGUI - PowerGUI Documentation
"Well, I guess we were too lazy to create great long user guides so we just shot a few flash demos hoping that it's also an easier way to consume the information anyway:
- Introduction to PowerGUI demo - this is the most basic and introductory demo using Exchange 2007 environment to show how PowerGUI can be used to manage mailboxes, produce reports, how the console can be extended, and finally how these extensions are shared with other community members.
- Extending PowerGUI - this is an advanced demo on how PowerGUI works and how it can be extended with simple and script nodes/links/actions and how you can use .NET, WMI, and ADSI when PowerShell is not enough.

After listening to DNR #311 during my walk last night, I just had to check out PowerGUI and comment about just how excited the guest, Kirk Munro, was. His excitement was infectious (in a good way :) and has me thinking about PowerShell again.
If you're interested in PowerShell, this is pretty much a must listen to cast...
And for your viewing pleasure, here are couple PowerGUI screenshots...
