People sometimes ask me why I like the command line so much. They say, "It's awfully retro, isn't it?" Nope, not at all. In fact, I'd argue that with the forthcoming releases of Windows Vista and Longhorn Server, the command line is experiencing a renaissance. I've been testing the early versions of Vista, which will appear in several forms by late 2006. Although the new OS includes an attractive set of under-the-hood features, the Aero GUI can get frustrating. It tends to hide features that I use often!
