I found a page of Powershell documentation dated 2010 written for Powershell version 2.
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd315303.aspx
That page is for a particular command. Where can I read the rest of the documentation for version 2? The left sidebar just shows 'TechNet Library' and has no Powershell links.
I found docs for Powershell Version 1 http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh848793
and pre-release docs for version 3 http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb978526
The pre-release Windows PowerShell 3.0 documentation covers both Windows PowerShell 2.0 and 3.0. New cmdlets and parameters, and new behavior, are clearly marked. This is really obvious in a help topic for a cmdlet like Get-Command which changed significantly between 2.0 and 3.0.
We're adding an "Applies To" field at the topic of every page to show which versions of Windows PowerShell are covered in each topic.
I thought this was more convenient than having to go to two different doc sets and compare them. Let me know if this works for you!
Thanks, June

In v2, you can get the help for any given cmdlet using Get-Help -Online parameter:
Get-Help <cmdletName> -Online
(get-host).version gives me Major Minor Build Revision 2 0 -1 -1 so I think I have version 2, however it's installed at C:\Windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe which suggests it's version 1.
