@RL_Dane You sure that's not hidden under every version of Windows?

@DarleneCypser

Ah, it seems Windows 10 has it as well.
Not sure if Windows 7 had it, I know windows XP did not, as I always had to use PuTTY on those machines.

Of course, we don't mention VISTA. X'D

@RL_Dane
I believe Win7 did.
Of course, your average Windows user does not know how to get to a command prompt.

@cjerrington

It's horrendous, and the UI design is the worst I've ever seen.

@RL_Dane it doesn’t really even make sense either.

@dheadshot

I noticed. I wonder which version was the first to get ssh baked-in.

I know I definitely had to use #PuTTY on #WindowsXP back in the naughties.

@RL_Dane I think it was a later version of 10. 8.1 doesn't have it and I don't remember early versions of 10 having it either?

@dheadshot

I didn't think to look until yesterday when I was on my aunt's computer and wanted to ssh into my laptop so that... it wouldn't suck so much? XD

@RL_Dane I just use PuTTY - it's easier...

@dheadshot

Pretty sure I haven't used #PuTTY once since 2013, but that's just because I've been on MacOSX and #Linux the whole time, and the few times I had to use windows, I just used #Cygwin.

Not enough love, Cygwin. It's like reverse-WINE. (Of course, it does help that Windows has a (probably badly implemented and somewhat cursed) POSIX layer.)

@RL_Dane CygWin felt insecure when I was deciding on a layer, so I chose MinGW32 and MSYS. I wish I'd chosen MinGW64 and MSYS2 as they have backwards compatibility now anyway, but it's too late to replace my entire stack...
