Good grief it's a joke.

As for the viability of running W2K from the command line; clearly you are mistaken. There are FAR too many things you CANNOT do from the command line. Further there are so many munged up things about W2K that it boggles the mind. Many of the tools I'll bet you use in your W2K day to day are nasty Unix hacks.

Does this make Windows evil, or unworthy? No It makes it harder. And more tedious.

There's more than one way to do it, but only some of them actually work.
