Has anyone tried the Beta of WinVista? If so, I have a question that has been burning through my head: Does the OS have a command prompt that still accepts the same DOS commands as WinXP and SIMILAR OS's?Idk i have hade the beta even before it whent to public beta but i never put it on my pc but i know some people that are running it now and i will ask them. Yes, same command shell and same commands as Windows XP.Really? Then what's this MONAD I'm hearing about?MONAD is new shell by MS that is supposed to be very powerful. I downloaded a beta of MONAD a few months ago, but it was VERY different from CMD.EXE, so quickly went BACK to CMD.EXE until I have time to re-visit the new shell (which I haven't yet). I think you can download it, but I didn't notice it at all in Vista. It MAY be an option for Vista, but I know that when you click on the "Command Prompt" icon, you get the good old CMD.EXE with the same syntax and commands as XP.Here is INFO on MONAD and the page also contains a download link if you want to give it a try:
