Microsoft says Terminal on Windows 10 supports emojis, multiple tabs, and GPU text rendering. “Windows Terminal will elevate the command-line user experience on Windows, delivering a powerful environment for users of PowerShell, Cmd, Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) and all forms of command-line application,” Microsoft notes. Microsoft says dev’s will get their hands on Windows Terminal during June, so it may show up on the Insider program around that time. Expect a full roll out with Windows 19H2 later in the year. Windows Subsystem for Linux 2: A new version of WSL is coming soon. Microsoft says the update will focus on the most requested items by users.
