Microsoft going to bring command-line shell into the 20th century

The command prompt hasn't undergone much change in the past decade. In fact, it's still less powerful than OS/2's CMD.exe released back in 1991!
The command line interface to the Windows Server OS will be changed to the new Monad Shell (MSH), in a phased implementation to take place over the next three to five years. This confirmation comes from Microsoft senior vice president Bob Muglia in an interview published today by Microsoft.
