Windows 10 has a new Terminal app (and there was much rejoicing)... PING!

You can find all the Windows Ping list threads with FR search: just search on keyword "windowspinglist".

The new terminal will feature faster GPU-accelerated text rending and “emoji-rich” fonts, because everything these days needs to support emojis, and those will sure help lighten up the command-line user experience.

Agh! Bad as it is, applications want to reinterpret my use of punctuation within parenthetical expressions as emojis and the WIndows command line never did that. I do not use emojis. I do use punctuation. ASCII and standard Unicode for me.

So... I can pay Microsoft $185 for Windows 10 with a really cool terminal emulator or I can spend half an hour downloading Linux Mint for free and use ssh?

Another futile attempt to out-Linux Linux.
