Start, Run, then type CMD and press ENTER.  The Windows XP command prompt
even
included BASH-like filename completion (type part of the name and press TAB
to
see the first match).  Pretty cool considering it's M$.

You can do the same thing typing COMMAND instead of CMD but the COMMAND.COM
interpreter is brain-damaged.
