"it marks Microsoft’s latest efforts to improve the developer environment on Windows 10."

It's still got a long way to go. But at least Windows now has a usable pseudo-terminal, and you can even download and install Ubuntu right from Microsoft.

Free, even! shocked (give 'em time, they'll figure out how to charge for it.)

As for speed - the Windows terminals - both old and this new one, just like Linux terminals when you're running a window manager, are just emulating a cli. So they are doing a lot of graphic work anyway.

Um... I have an idea - why not just install Linux in the first place? smile Then you can open an actual full-screen cli. Is that even possible on Windows?
