There is only one response to their statement, which is to remind everyone what happend the LAST time M$ tried to do a Un*x like shell:



Obviously you have never used Micrsoft's Services for UNIX (free download).

I am very very happy to admit that I never did as for several years now I avoid working in that envorinment as much as possible . When I have to usually in order to prepare a Linux corss tool chain for an embedded project for some client, it's done via an SSH to a Cygwin Bash session.

It includes a very nice CLI with KSH and "C" shell, bash is availble from a 
third party.
The thrid party stuff used to be free, now there is $20 download fee.

Obviously you you didn't read the link I sent. It describes the origins of exactly that shell that you describe, what M$ said about said shell when it was first announced and... well, without giving out too much of the punch line - demonstrates what happens when M$ marketing Reality Distortion Field hits a massive object :-)
