> The real reason findstr is not improved is because Bob left the company and probably took the source code with him. No that's not true. That would mean they were doing a special binary drop into Windows just for that one tool. That would be a major no-no, because it wouldn't be serviceable if there was, say, a security bug in it, or you had to localize it to a new language.

Besides, PowerShell was on the horizon, and it was going to fix everything.
