Question

Can I use powershell as the shell, in shell mode for emacs?
How?

Answer 2

The quickest way to find out would be to run shell-mode, and then run powershell from the command line.

Answer 3

See Jeffrey Snover's blog post PowerShell running inside of Emacs

Answer 4

Based on the blog post Run PowerShell as a shell within Emacs:

• In the install directory for Emacs within ..\emacs\site-lisp, save a new file named powershell.el as provided in the post mentioned above.

• Add the following to your .emacs file:

  (autoload 'powershell "powershell" "Run powershell as a shell within emacs." t)

Once done, use M-x powershell to open and interactively use a PS shell buffer.
