As a PowerShell user, it certainly has it's place, but it's place is pretty niche in the linux world, so +1 for the AUR.
Given that it comes from Microsoft they must have some agenda to fulfill, I'd rather not touch this even with a 10 foot pole, just like I try to stay away for other MS products as much as I can. The AUR is where it should stay, but even then they can spin it as PR fodder just like canonical spun snappy coming to Arch Linux.
Make no mistake, they are after profits and do whatever it takes to keep the money flowing, all their friendliness to linux and open source is tainted with patent attacks behind the curtain. The next time the leadership changes there is no guarantee that this new found friendliness isn't going to change.
