For me, powershell has very slow startup time. So I stick with cmd.exe. But it beefed up quite a bit. I am using: - msys-git (I have ls, rm -rf... all unix goodness) - clink (better tab completion, history, all around good stuff) - console2 (styling) - ansicolor (colored prompt) and also I got some usefull aliases. If you are interested I can write down some steps for other people to follow. screenshot http://i.imgur.com/hATwCVI.png http://i.imgur.com/hATwCVI.png
