That concession was the foundation on which Microsoft would build its empire. Late last month, in Windows 10 Preview Build 14791, the command prompt was put out to pasture.

Windows Terminal is for developers who use Command Prompt, PowerShell, Azure Cloud Shell and several Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) distributions, such as Ubuntu.

Windows Terminal is command line tool for users of Command Prompt, PowerShell, and WSL. Available for download from Github & Microsoft Store.

Windows Terminal even allows you to customize the look and feel of each profile (Command Prompt, PowerShell, Windows Subsystem for Linux or SSH).

Microsoft has finally revealed a long requested feature; a Windows package manager called winget that allows you to easily install applications from the command line.
