Most people I work with know that I spend a lot of time at the Command Line in both Windows and Linux. The Command Line Interface (CLI) gives me a lot of flexibility to quickly do things that I can't do through the Graphical User Interface (GUI).

However, a lot of users aren't aware that there are two different command line interpreters under Windows....and that using the wrong one can cause problems

Download the QEMU program (from http://www.h7.dion.ne.jp/~qemu-win/) and install it into a directory on Windows. I use C:\QEMU.

I'm frequently asked about "utilities" to help solve some computer problem. I've always defined a utility as some small (hmmm...another relative term) piece of software to help accomplish a task. Usually the size is on the order of less than a floppy (the old 5 1/4" 360K floppy disks) but with changes in software and the use of graphical components, I've considered it a little larger. I guess I would have to describe them as something outside the normal realm of major busuiness class software (even though anti-virus and Spyware removal apply here as well!).
