"Hmm. They can now have a path to obsolete cmd. As long as they ship a decent ssh client with the system, users will become accustomed to ssh-ing to their own box instead of using cmd."
I'm not sure I understand what you mean here ...
My OS X desktop/laptop (for instance) have ssh on them, but I almost never ssh to them ... I just open up a local terminal window.
Genuinely curious as to why one would ssh to their windows system rather than just run cmd.exe ...
- stoic 11y agoIt is SSH versus RDP, not SSH versus cmd.exe. Not all of us who manage (partial) Windows environments run Windows or care to click around a whole bunch of times if we can just use the terminal we've already got open & focused.

- ptaipale 11y agoBecause cmd.exe, or command.com, has been around for over 30 years, and lots of people have learned it. PowerShell is nice but a couple of decades overdue.
