Microsoft Replaces Command Prompt with PowerShell in Latest Windows 10 Build (softpedia.com)
Bogdan Popa, writing for Softpedia:The latest Windows 10 insider build brings a change that puts the Windows PowerShell in the spotlight, as it replaces the super-popular Command Prompt in some essential parts of the operating system. Command Prompt has been around for as long as we can remember, but starting with Windows 10 build 14971, Microsoft is trying to make PowerShell the main command shell in the operating system. As a result, PowerShell officially replaces the Command Prompt in the Win + X menu, so when you right-click the Start menu, you'll only be allowed to launch the more powerful app. Additionally, in File Explorer's File menu and in the context menu that appears when pressing Shift + right-click in any folder, the old Command Prompt will no longer be available. Typing cmd in the run dialog will launch PowerShell as well, so Microsoft has made a significant step towards phasing out the traditional Command Prompt.
If they get rid of COMMAND.COM, I'm going straight back to CP/M.
If you think cygwin is the answer, you are asking the wrong questions.
No, bashing Windows has long been a staple theme in here.
Microsoft registered WindowsPowersHell.org for a reason, people!
You could try making an alias that gets detailed help. Call it man.
Are you kidding? Call it MAN? Do that and you're gonna have a herd of SJWs down your neck in a flash.
Besides, MAN does not ask for help. Where do you get these ideas anyway?
Faster! Faster! Faster would be better!
