"Hmm. They can now have a path to obsolete cmd. As long as they ship a decent ssh client with the system, users will become accustomed to ssh-ing to their own box instead of using cmd."
I'm not sure I understand what you mean here ...
My OS X desktop/laptop (for instance) have ssh on them, but I almost never ssh to them ... I just open up a local terminal window.
Genuinely curious as to why one would ssh to their windows system rather than just run cmd.exe ...
Not all of us who manage (partial) Windows environments run Windows or care to click around a whole bunch of times if we can just use the terminal we've already got open & focused.
Because cmd.exe, or command.com, has been around for over 30 years, and lots of people have learned it. PowerShell is nice but a couple of decades overdue.
