Windows command line... well one day Bill Gates might get rid of it. But I see it as a very useful little tool, especially when running batch files to compile applications. Another useful feature I use it for is to run common window applications such as regedit, msconfig, run etc.

I think it will be here to stay because lets face it, undeneath all the fancy graphics of modern computer appliactions there is the code... written in words and numbers not done by graphics believe it or not! And the command line is word driven.

I think it would be a great mistake to kill the command line because to replace it the command would have to be done graphically! Could be confusing for some people.

I use the command line both ways, i use memory for the old dos based ones, and sometimes refernce (cut and paste). Finally I would like to say I don't use it as often as i used to when i was using windows 3.11 or dos. Technology moves, the command line won't!
