Windows equivalent of the 'tail' command

Question

Is there a way to simulate the *nix tail command on the Windows command line? I have a file and I want a way to snip off the first n lines of text. For example:

Answer 1

Get-content -Tail n file.txt with powershell is the only thing that comes close to tail in linux.

The Get-Content *filename* | Select-Object -last *n* suggested above loads/parse the whole thing. Needless to say, it was not happy with my 10GB log file... The -Tail option does start by the end of the file.
