Add color, tabs, and copy/paste to the Windows console

While the color feature is nice, Color Console also has a few tricks that are a bit more functional. For example you can open up multiple console windows in a tabbed interface. And you can easily copy text from the console and paste it into any Windows application. There's even a beta print feature that will let you print the contents of a console window in full color.

With Halloween fast approaching, it's a great time to get in some practice defending your territory against zombies. In Graveyard Shift, you take aim at zombies and other creepy-crawlies, blasting them into splatters of cartoony green guts. It's a casual first-person shooter, and it's very easy to get the hang of - use the mouse to aim, click to fire.

Haven't tried this particular app so I can't compare them, but I reiterate Brian's recomendation for "Console" - it's a great replacement to the Windows console shell.

I've been looking for a good console replacement after switching back from Linux. The Windows console is completely pathetic (no easy copy-paste, no saved history, no scrolling from the keyboard etc.). How close are they to porting Konsole?

Komodo, you're a moron dude. I originally thought this post was about a replacement for windows' cmd.exe. Turns out this story is about something else, but I still found what I was looking for, because of Brian's Console recommendation. Waste of time for you maybe, but I got what I needed, douchy.

Does anyone know of any of these cmd add-ons/replacements that allows you to log a full session to a text file, similar to what you can do in putty sessions?
