First, the important disclaimer, necessary because of my posting address: I
do not in any way speak for Microsoft in what I write below, but only in a
personal capacity.
In the W2k betas that have been issued so far, there is a "CMD" command
which does pretty much what you'd expect.
bash has been ported to NT long ago. It was done by Cygnus and is part of
the cygwin package. It works for me under W2k beta, but YMMV.
