> Not long ago I remember coming across some discussions about upgrading SChannel (the actual TLS component in Windows) in older versions using OpenSSL or other TLS libraries, but can't find at the moment.
ReactOS has an schannel.dll built around the mbedTLS library: https://github.com/reactos/reactos/tree/master/dll/win32/sch...

yori
Yori is a CMD replacement shell that supports backquotes, job control, and improves tab completion, file matching, aliases, command history, and more.
cmd.exe is largely still concerned with starting processes and hooking them together in much the same vein as Bourne shell, so I tend to use it for that.
(I actually use Yori[0], but it's pretty much to tcsh what cmd.exe is to csh.)
PowerShell leaned a little too hard into the structured data to be useful for me as a command shell. It's a pretty decent competitor to the Python REPL though.

Here is just that re-constitution: https://github.com/katahiromz/RWordPad
But I think it's the loss of the Wordpad that matters to people, but that Wordpad will be yanked from all current and future Windows machines. For people who use a lot of different systems as guest, this can matter.
