Microsoft had to catch up sometime?

Finally a great terminal (although still bare bones) for Windows! Just 20 years late... we wanted that back in 2000. Instead if we had to use Windows, we got CMD.EXE that could easily resize vertically and not horizontally.

I would say 40 years late, but our point is the same!

Bah. Terminal emulators are ancient hacks that should have died out long ago. Microsoft is just doing this to accommodate the Linux ecosystem that still thinks a teletype is a good idea.
Actually, the Microsoft people are doing this to satisfy a request from Windows software developers and users that was so prevalent that even I had a Frequently Given Answer about it back in 2000.
