          Well you’re not the only ones I don’t feel terribly bad.

            I never need more than a right click on the start button and then choosing Powershell.

            I guess if I actually ran native windows all the time I would have found this useful.

            I recall this being announce not long after the WSL was standardized. Maybe same time?

              I remember it was something that had to be installed, rather than being a part of the default Windows install. Is that still true?

                Yes, you install it from
                https://aka.ms/terminal
                or
                https://github.com/microsoft/terminal

                It's possible to integrate it into the widows installation image with DISM.

                  It's true for Win10. I've been installing it from the built-in MS Store without any issue.

                  Simply search for terminal then click to install one of Windows Terminal or Windows Terminal Preview.

                    It's exactly what I thought. With a name like that, what else could it have been?

                      Yeah, your right - especially if you compare to something like gnome terminal.

                      But Microsoft have been pretty consistent through the years about using "console" and not "terminal" for this kind of application.

                        True. They do always use some weird terminology that is very specifically something else but "not when Microsoft says it."
