[one-users] contextualization and windows powershell

[Javier Fontan]

We chosen to use single quotes as the double quotes could be interpreted by
the shell and break the contextualization in some cases [1].

It seems that this change is giving more problems than we thought and we
are planning on generating two versions, one with single quotes and another
with double quotes [2].
