-------------------------- EXAMPLE 1 --------------------------
PS C:\>get-process | export-clixml pi.xml
PS C:\>$processes = import-clixml pi.xml
This command uses the Export-Clixml cmdlet to save a serialized copy of the process information returned by Get-Process. It then uses
Import-Clixml to retrieve the contents of the serialized file and re-create an object that is stored in the $processes variable.
