It's hilarious that this makes it into the demo.

It is hilarious how terrible the terminal emulator is on Windows in general.
It wasn't a big deal with CMD as, frankly, CMD barely got touched since forever. But they've been actively developing Powershell now for many years but yet shoved it into the same antiquated terminal emulator.
I'm glad they're at least looking at it. Next up hopefully Control Panel. Barely changed since Windows 95 and subpar relative to what Apple do in OS X.

It's (I think) symptomatic of an organization that prioritizes new-hotness work over old-and-busted work.
I think that was their messaging -- the theme of these release is "we've fixed all the annoying things people complain about, from the Start Button for novice users to command prompt for power users". They want this release to feel, above all, familiar.
