No, CMD is not dead, it's still the default shell in Vista.
Monad was pulled from Vista.. old news:

CMD is still the default when you invoke things like system(),
and AFAIK, the Monad shell is not present at all in the default
Vista install. (Typing 'msh' gives command not found, and both
'monad' and 'msh' give zero results in Vista's "Help")
Monad is the future, but not the present (yet).
From what I understand it's an "option" which you can dl and
install on XP/2k3 and Vista. I think I recall Monad has been
ported to linux even.. [random google search]:
http://www.die.net/doc/linux/man/man1/msh.1.html
Monad is pretty cool (hate the name.. what were they thinking).
I've seen a demo video of it (can't recall the link) and was
impressed with what I saw. It's definitely the first thing
I've seen that takes good old unix pipes to the 'next level'..
smarter unix-like tools to manipulate columns and tables of data.
Good stuff, and in the unix tradition from what I could tell.
