A Better Console For Windows

Using Windows, but still crafty enough to use the shell?

Go get yourself ConsoleEmu.   Support for font changes, multi-shell support, tabs, and most importantly of all:  window resizing/maximizing.

Make sure you set it up to use PowerShell as it will default to boring/shitty old cmd.
