Vista Tutorial - Autocompletion?

Probably I'm missing something BIG. Here is the question: why autocompletion
does not work out-of-the box? Just downloaded Powershell 1.0, installed,
fired it up. Typed "d" and pressed TAB expecting it to cycle through the list
of commands. Hovewer it cycles through directories. Can I make autocompletion
in powershell more intelligent?

PS: Search for "autocompletion", "completion" in this
newsgroup/documentation yelds no useful results.

Yes, you can.

You can override the TabExpansion function to do whatever you want. (By
the way, searching for "expansion" may yield more results.)

Other people already have, though... for instance see this blog post:
