Getting Disk Usage Information

Nice bit of code and uses WMI!

Some of you might know that I've spent a lot of time on UNIX systems.  One of the scripts that I used a bunch was /etc/dfspace.  If you don't know what dfspace is, it's a simple wrapper for df that provides disk usage info in a more human readable format than the output of df.  Since I really miss having that on Windows, I built it in powershell using the Get-WMIObject cmdlet.  Here's how it looks when you run it:

PS> dfspace
name                  Size (MB) free (MB) percent
----                  --------- --------- -------
C:                   152,499.84 76,827.33   50.38
