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.

So, just how good at time waster games are you? Think you've got the stuff? Well, The World's Hardest Game 2.0 doesn't think you do.
Yes, amazingly, it's possible to have a sequel to a game called "The World's Hardest Game". It doesn't seem logically possible, since if the first one was actually the world's hardest, how could another one come along and share the moniker? It made me doubt the name in the first place.

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?
