An equally important piece of news is hidden near the end. They announced Windows Terminal, a new console application that will be able to host cmd, powershell and wsl sessions.

What I also find interesting is that in the announcement video of Windows Terminal (0:20) you can see the command "wt install", which sounds like a possible future package manager?
