Under Windows, MinTTY is the best console I found.
It is even better than rxvt which cannot play with utf-8.
Now, Windows can match Linux :))
Actually, the majority of codes are directly from PuTTY (also
acknowledged by the author).
For Windows users taking advantage of cygwin, there is no need to
include ssh in the console, because more powerful ssh package is part
of cygwin itself. The beauty of MinTTY is that it looks like native
Windows' application. Plus, all basic linux/unix commands are
available without installing another OS.
The installation of cygwin is simple, kind of plug and play. Not
until cygwin is plugged in, Windows can match Linux, and it is better
than Linux to some extends.
Is there 256-color support?
Is there freetype2 support?
Is the POSIX file path name support? i.e. /usr/bin/blabla
Is there the symbolic link support?
Is there fork() and exec() support? this is important for process cooperation.
Is there POSIX IPC support?
Is there d-bus support?
Is there apt-get support?
Is python and gcc the standard?
We don't need to compare Linux to Windows in most cases, because they
are designed for different purpose and they won't work the same way
for the same person. Linux would not be good when it is "another OS",
it is good when it is "the only OS". So do Windows, if windows is the
only OS on your computer then it is the best, keep using it and it
will really be the best OS.
Yes, Otherwise, it is not useful.

Not sure, because I might not have a chance to use it.
set t_Co=256 in console vim and it will use 256 color when you have a
256color enabled color scheme, there are plenty of them in vim.sf.net.
with freetype2 support you have autohint/antialias for font rending,
something like the ClearType for Windows, you can then use scalar font
for any size, instead of use bitmap font.
I must have it and I must have used it. The color inside
http://vimim.googlecode.com/svn/vimim/vimim.vim.html
is directly generated from MinTTY automatically. Otherwise, running
auto scripts using gVim is nothing but annoying.

I must also have it. I can scroll mouse or simply CTRL-+ to make
font large (like I do to firefox).
As long as it works the UNIX way, who cares about if it is inside
Windows or not? Otherwise, I have to use two machines which I try to
avoid.
