They're not removing cmd the console host. If you shift-right-click a folder the context item is powershell now instead of command prompt.

  The article would partially disagree with you: > 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. Imho that sounds like stupid idea (and I like PS).

    Currently powershell just shells out to cmd.exe to run normal command line apps And handle text streams anyway. How would that work?

      My guess is that MS will keep old cmd in place in system32, and do some tricks with search paths to divert "unqualified" cmd to PS.
