If you’ve spent much time doing development work on Linux or Max OS X, and you suddenly find yourself stuck doing development work on a Windows machine, one of the things you’ll quickly learn to hate is the Windows command prompt. You can’t resize the command prompt window, and cut-and-paste is a bit of a pain. You can use Cygwin/X to get yourself a genuine xterm window, but Cygwin is a little heavy weight, and not all Windows console programs will work properly in Cygwin due to differences in the way POSIX handles stdout.
Enter Console 2; a slick Windows command prompt replacement. It’s lightweight, resizable, and with a little bit of configuration, you can make the copy-and-paste behave just like an xterm.
