Just being picky but from Windows 2000 onwards you can use full regex in 
the "DOS" command shell too. You need to toggle a registry option I 
believe but "help cmd" will tell all.

File and command completion are likewise available if desired.
The Windows command line has most of the stuff Bash has. It's the 
scripting language that still sucks! (And for that there
is WSH or Power Shell)
