The Return of the C:\ Prompt?
The command line returns! Actually it never went away. However PC World reports that there will be a new command-line interface in Windows Vista. That may not sound very interesting to many people but it means that a lot of system and file tasks may be easier. PC World says
Code-named Monad, the new shell will enable a host of new programs known as scripts–something at which rival Unix operating systems have historically excelled. While these new commands and scripts will interest primarily administrators and power users, less-technical types may benefit from Monad scripts that could circulate on the Internet as Unix scripts do.
In fact, there are already a lot of scripts that the average PC user would find helpful. See this other page for examples.
