I'd like to recommend making PowerShell the default terminal program on Windows when the user hasn't configured their path (and when the COMSPEC environment variable hasn't been explicitly set). Since PowerShell will now be the default terminal program in Windows 10 going forward (see blog post), I think it makes sense to make it the default in VS Code on Windows as well.

What do you think?
