  It's faster and works better than old conhost.exe they're also planning to overhaul it with more modern features judging from its trailer[0] (yes, this terminal has a fancy 3D trailer) [0]: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8gw0rXPMMPE https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8gw0rXPMMPE

      I'd see that video more as a "where we want to head this tool in the future" rather than an actual showcase of its current state to be honest

      I'd recommend giving it another go and digging into the documentation. They've made the UX much less clunky and support panes now as well as tabs, proper copy/paste etc. My only wish is modal keybindings but if I cared enough I'd send a PR for them. It was extremely barebones six months ago but it's come a long way, and faster than anything else I've tried.

is it because it's distributed through the store or because you're on a too old version of Windows? In the first case, you could probably build it yourself and install it on your own EDIT: you can download built packages from the Releases tab https://github.com/microsoft/terminal/releases https://github.com/microsoft/terminal/releases

  yeah, you can download it but not run it and my windows build is not recent enough according to the docs of microsoft/terminal

  Windows 7.1 extend support ends on January 14, 2020. So is your org planning a very fast rollout or is it paying $$$ for Extended Security Updates?
  - poizan42 7y ago
    There is nothing called Windows 7.1. Windows 7 extended support ends January 14, 2020. Windows 8.1 won't end its extended support until January 10, 2023.

      It most likely is a reference to Windows 7 SP1. I've never seen it written as "7.1" but that is probably what they meant.
      - ChrisSD 7y ago
        Yes sorry, that was a brain fart. I did indeed mean SP1. The Windows SDK version is 7.1 so I got muddled. Windows 7 (without SP1) is already unsupported.
