Windows Command Prompt Replacement

MS Command Prompt is perhaps the most ignored application that comes with Windows. Well they launched Powershell but it is more targeted towards Administrators. I was searching for a Windows based command prompt replacement. Tried Console Beta from sourceforge but it turned out to be a memory hog. 

These days i am using PowerCmd which is much neater and uses less memory. It did crash when i was using it and that did not kill the prcoess running in console. So i had to use Alt-Ctrl-Del to kill the process. PowerCmd comes with a tabbed interface and allows me to change fonts easily. User Interface is simple and self explaining. I can arrange console in predefined layouts. Copying and Pasting text is much easier. For long console message there is also option to turn Wordwrap on or off. I think default windows console should learn something from its unix counterpart.
