You can with program such as cmder.
But there are two differencies: The query is notre enclosed by single quotes and if you want to get a full user input you have to use '$*' instead of '$@'.

PowerShell provides cmdlets for aliases that you can almost convince yourself are the same as *nix aliases, if you're in to that sort of thing.

Also, if you do 'Get-Alias' you'll see that Unix commands like 'ls' are aliased to 'Get-ChildItem', which in turn also has an alias of 'dir'.

@TktStatusPICNIC I'm honestly not sure if they still support doskey. I know they did in earlier versions but a lot of versions of cmd.exe seem really quite limited to me.
