"sls (Select-String) under PowerShell is free, is at least as powerful as Grep and it can also handle objects"
That may well be true. But I've been using GREP on Lunix for ~20 years and a GREP for Windows for nearly that long.

In light of your comment, I'm wondering why Greg Steen @ MS is a staunch advocate of PowerGREP?
