Hi. PM on Windows Command-Line here:

A couple of things:

1. You're confusing Cmd (the command-line shell) with Console (the terminal UX you see and interact with on-screen) 2. Development for NT started in Oct 1989 and the first version of NT shipped in 1993

You might find it interesting to read my series of posts on the evolution of the Windows Command Line: https://devblogs.microsoft.com/commandline/windows-command-l...

HTH.

Development started in the late 1980s and continued through the early 1990s, I may have been slightly hyperbolic.
