Useful PowerShell Modules

What are the best or most useful dev-related PowerShell modules that exist today? Not looking for sys admin management tools for Active Directory/Microsoft Exchange/etc., but more for development utilities.

Please list one module per answer, so they can be voted up accordingly.

I'll provide a few to start off.

PowerShell Pack

Is this Windows 7 only? The download page is unclear (but seems to imply it).

I know that ISEPack and WPK of PowerShell Pack works on older versions as well. The Task Scheduler Pack I am not sure.

The only portion of PowerShellPack that is Windows 7 only is Enable-Multitouch in WPK (and this will still not error out on downlevel, it just will not do anything). The Task Scheduler module will only work on Vista and up.Hope this helps - James Brundage
