I may be a late comer to this app but there is a cool free app here called Console2. I am now using it for the quick work I need to do in PowerCLI and PowerShell, the stuff I don't need to save or need an editor for.

Its great as a portable app, I have it in my DropBox folder and its synced between my PC’s as well as being on a USB key so I can use it from anywhere.

I like the way you can resize the window and it resizes the buffer and the copy and paste is also enhanced from the normal console.

I have packaged my settings and logos up so you too can see what I see, just download the settings file from below and Console2 from here and extract them into the same folder.
