Wow. I haven't heard about that. Did they supposedly remove the telnet client or server? If true, it would be quite a surprise(well not really). Telnet is terrible to use for anything you wouldn't want everyone else to know about, but can be useful for certain troubleshooting situations. Removing telnet would be just stupid. What's next? Are they going to remove Ping? lol
Unless you are running a server version of windows I don't think you have access to a telnet daemon. Noone should be running a telnet daemon anymore anyway. It is the client that is still useful.
Ping? What is this “ping” you speak of? ;-) JK
