I have mostly got the rework to the Developers Guide ready to update

I'm setting up a Windows build environment again for the first time in a 
couple of years and the instructions are working well so far.  This part 
is unclear to me:

"2.2.4. Install PowerShell

If you are running Windows Vista you may need to install Windows 
Powershell 2.0. Later versions should also be supported. You can 
download it from https://www.microsoft.com/powershell";

Does that mean I need to install Powershell only if I'm running Vista?  
But not other versions of Windows?  What does Powershell do for us now?
