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.

Type "start [filename.exe]" into Command Prompt, replacing "filename" with the name of your selected file. Replace "[filename.exe]" with your program's name. This allows you to run your program from the file path.
Windows Terminal is a multi-tabbed terminal emulator that Microsoft has developed for Windows 10 and later as a replacement for Windows Console. It can run any command-line app in a separate tab.
The type command is a Windows cat equivalent that works across a command-line prompt (cmd) and a Window's PowerShell. type command used in Windows to view contents of the given file without modifying it.
Take a look at Console2 http://sourceforge.net/projects/console/
It's features:
"multiple tabs, text editor-like text selection, different background types, alpha and color-key transparency, configurable font, different window styles"

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.

cygwin? www.cygwin.com. Or mingwin?
