Windows has the Event Viewer, which can be accessed by invoking
`eventvwr.msc` in either a cmd.exe window or the Run dialog. Modern
versions of Windows allow you to filter the contents in a similar
fashion. Admittedly, these tools don't even come remotely close to the
versatility of grep, sed, and awk on the UNIX side of things, but with
PowerShell, things do become a lot less painful.
(As an aside, please spare us from the anti-Windows sentiment or blatant
UNIX-like superiority (e.g., "('We' = Windows users, not me)"). These
remarks are completely unnecessary; we're all in this together. Agreed?)
Now that we've derailed the thread a bit, some crib documentation on
using the Windows Event Log can be found at
