line shell?

"Microsoft has big plans for the trusty old C prompt. For its upcoming Windows Vista operating system, the company is developing a new command-line interface, or shell--the text-based controls typically accessed by clicking Command Prompt (under Start Menu, Programs, Accessories) in Windows XP."

They've developed something called MSH (Microsoft Command Shell). It actually looks very good.

Microsoft's already stated that it won't be included in the initial release of Vista. Like nearly every other feature so they can make the December 31st deadline, it'll be downloadable later.

I need a tabbed terminal so I can spawn command line apps to the tabs behind.
