Quite a gamble, I'd say, introducing Windows users to a real shell
environment, i.e., allowing them to do practical work without a Windows
GUI. If they aren't careful, a few of them might wake up one day and
realize, "Wow, I can do all this exact same stuff on a Linux or BSD
server, without paying per-connection license fees!"

Kind of funny... I remember Computer Science students back in college
who said they preferred Windows because "the whole command-line thing"
didn't really work for them.
