Powershell displays extra characters in output

Question

I'm using Otto to setup a dev environment, and working from Powershell. Powershell inserts extra characters instead of what seems like it should be colors in the output. How can I change the Powershell configuration to display the output properly?

PS C:\dev\otto\discourse> otto dev

I think I found a workaround for my problem. Using PowerShell ISE seems to display the error messages in a much more readable format.
