Microsoft Replaces Command Prompt with PowerShell in Latest Windows 10 Build

My work laptop still runs Windows 7 - and will for the foreseeable future - but that is one of the things that make me curious about Windows 10. It is, of course, easy to ridicule Microsoft for how long it took them to change this, but I think better late than never.

(On older versions of Windows, ConEmu[1] does that, too, but it's third-party software, of course. It also supports tabs!)

Since conemu is mentioned, I'll chimed in with cmder[1]. It builds ontop of conemu and has git-for-windows integrated as well.

cmder developer also says:

> If you have trouble with anything I am happy to help. But you will have much better chances to find solutions on the pages of the upstream projects. Those are:

    Console emulator ~ Conemu (https://conemu.github.io/)

    Cmd.exe enhancements ~ clink (https://mridgers.github.io/clink/)

    Unix tools on windows ~ git for windows (https://git-for-windows.github.io/)
