This week is Passover, today is Good Friday, Sunday is Easter Sunday. Bob is dressed up as an Easter Bunny, and there is what looks like a matzo (aka a communion wafer) under the T of PROJECT.
Did I get it right?
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

I think that is an Easter egg, same as in both the Os in Code and Project.

Those are golf-clubs; Bob is at Mar-a-Lago advising someone very important on North Korean threats.

For those of you who have stepped up to the Creators update...
My wife just went to a seminar on W10 and one of the bullet points on the creators update is that the command window will go away and is replaced with PowerShell. Is this true? I have a lot of effort invested in batch files, including how I backup my machine. If the command window goes away, can I still run commands or batch files interactively or with taskmgr etc?
Inquiring minds want to know.
I'm retired. There's a nap for that...

That gets threatened occasionally.

|

Both still exists.
You can also execute normal dos command in powershell btw.
The "significant" difference is, when you right click on starts menu it offers powershell instead of command prompt.
|
|
|
|
|
Mine doesn't. I installed the Creators Update yesterday and my right-click menu still has the "Command Prompt" and "Command Prompt (Admin)" the same as before.
Maybe it's different for a fresh install versus an upgrade?

Same here.... Same Command Prompt and Command Prompt(Admin)...

Mine has PowerShell...
What version does your system say in System (right-click Start, choose "System")? If it's not Version 1703 and OS Build 15063, then it's not the Creator's Update.

Yup, CU with some additional updates (.138)
Maybe those additional updates put the command prompt back.

Start settings, search for PowerShell. Personalization->Taskbar: there is a switch: Replace Command Prompt ....
|
|
|
|

Command Prompt is still there and available.
It's being discouraged in favor of Powershell.
Powershell has all the same capabilities as Command Prompt and lots of new functionality, too.
Provecho!

Just tried it by myself (finished installing the creators update now) and pressing Win+R and writing CMD launches the normal command prompt.
Hope this helps.

Whatever happens, you will still be able to run all of your commands, batch files etc. Microsoft is not crazy enough to remove one of the most important pieces from the OS — I use cmd, and I have never used PowerShell.
Plus, if you pay attention to what was being done previously, you will see that Microsoft is investing more in the terminals, and less on PowerShell (comparatively). They introduced Bash on Windows as well, if they were going to force everyone to use PowerShell, then they would have never done that.
Also, PowerShell is capable of running managed scripts, as well as some other native scripts — either by the use of alias etc, but that is possible. For example, execute the following commands to see for yourself!
C:\Users\Username\Desktop> echo echo Hi > script.bat
C:\Users\Username\Desktop> powershell
Windows PowerShell Copyright (C) 2016 Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.
PS C:\Users\Username\Desktop> .\script.bat
C:\Users\afzaa\Desktop>echo Hi Hi
This shows, that you can still execute the scripts that you write in your batch — the commands need to be there, or recognizable by the Windows.
Nonetheless, it would be a very stupid move to remove cmd, many IT, developer and noob guys use it; even I use it.

Whether it stays or goes, this will only affect you if you actually apply the update. If you stay on the version you are currently using, you'll be fine.

They have also made it the default for the Terminal Window in VS Code.

Now that's - just noticed you can open powershell from the File Explorer | File menu - sort of a 'drop to dos' - in the current open folder.
Always wanted that.

Shift-right-click on the directory will also display "open powershell from here"
