Title: Tar and Curl Come to Windows!

While I knew SSH was coming, and have known about the linux subsystem that basically runs ubuntu or another distro, I did not know they added NATIVE curl to the basic command prompt.

Very handy..

Now if I just had GREP as well instead of loading the linux subsystem.

I should note you can do basically all that curl does with powershell it is just simpler to do with curls well documented syntax.

Very cool. I don't have much experience with it but it seems easier than PowerShell

NATIVE curl?

But then I will be that much less motivated to write a basic .java and .cs version as practice! :-P
