title: Generics in PowerShell 2 not working?
body: <p>How could I make a List in PowerShell 2?
  I've tried these:<br/></p>
  
  <pre><code>[activator]::createinstance(([type]'system.collections.generic.list`1').makegenerictype([string]))
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>and <br/></p>
  
  <pre><code>[activator]::createinstance(([type]'system.collections.generic.list`1').makegenerictype([string]))
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>and all I get is just nothing. What's going wrong?</p>
  
  <p>I'm running XP SP3, if it matters</p>
