The standard command interpreter in Windows (cmd.exe, not powershell) 
does pretty much suck.  bash/tcsh are *far* more powerful. :)

But part of the suckage that is the Windows CLI is the registry.  Linux 
using text files for most configuration means that using the CLI to make 
changes actually makes a lot of sense.
