Third-party windows command-line program?

Tags:

shell

command-line

windows-xp

Looking for a better Windows XP command-line interface. The Visual Studio Command Prompt isn't near as nice as the Linux/OSX terminals.

Thoughts?

edit:

Answers: Console on Sourceforge, and the Windows Powershell. Thanks, I'll go dig them up and evaluate them. The Cygwin package is too much overhead for what I want.

edit2: Looks like the Windows Powershell for now. Its copy&paste functionality isn't great, but MS supports it.

As has your question been tagged, have you tried Windows PowerShell? It's paradigm is based on unix's pipes but instead of outputting text the processes output .Net objects.
