* I used amol's zsh with the gnuwin32 tools years ago and it was much,
  much slower than cygwin was. is there some news about that ? 
* Don't you think powershell is now the defacto shell for windows ? 
  - pro: accces to all the .net framework 
  - pro: powerfull syntax piping object and having anonymous functions
    for filter and apply 
  - pro: default standard
  - cons: lack of vi binding

regards
