At least, it did get revamped.

Notepad and the Command window are still pretty much what they were in Windows 95.

Notepad's an edit control with a menu. You can't significantly upgrade it and still have it be Notepad.

Not so. The command window is resizable like a real terminal emulator now.

I was almost shocked when I discovered that one. I had honestly given up thinking it would never get fixed.
