Personally I find the copy paste mechanism on a Windows Console enough to switch, let along horrid (non-existent) handling of resizing the window, bad scrolling habits, poor font selection, poor color selection, etc. enough to have ditched the Windows Console and deal with the one sole problem of Windows programs not understanding I/O with ptys...
