Wes, none of these are beginner friendly recommendations - our target
audience here is folks that *don't yet know what the phrase "command
prompt" means*.

So while there are a myriad of ways to get access to a *nix prompt on
Windows, they're all targeted at folks that are already experienced
developers, and they're also the wrong answer when the goal is to help
people to more effectively use the computer they already have, not the
computer we happen to think they *should* have.

Cheers,
Nick.
