Best feature stolen from unix cli's; Tab-Complete!!!!

CMD has had tab complete for some time... but yes it is great to have.

Yeah, though I think the default is that its turned off, or configured in such a way as to make it mind numbingly annoying. I can't remember which. Oh that reminds me, cmd.exe's command history is also annoying by default.

Wasn't a statement about Powershell, was about the feature itself in any cli...

Been a while for you eh Tom... it is enabled by default (in fact I've never looked for it to disable it), although a lot of cli exe's you would use from CMD don't have it defined... but atleast there is Tab-Complete search that works on CMD directory lookup no matter what cli exe you are using. Powershell on the other hand has that you are required to provide Tab-Complete definitions for any powershell command, so it is never without.

I was just confusing things, just last night I went and fixed someone's Vista box, and used tab complete, but I do find the way it works annoying.
