Well, that didn’t take long... Microsoft has added “wget” and “curl” commands to PowerShell. Trouble is, they don’t work like the URL-retrieval programs of the same names as commonly found on Linux systems. Someone has raised an issue on GitHub proposing getting rid of these command aliases, to avoid clashes with genuine implementations of these commands. But Microsoft has refused, on the grounds that it would break existing scripts. <http://www.theregister.co.uk/2016/08/23/your_wget_is_broken_and_should_die_powershellers_tell_microsoft/>
