No, no, three times no.

Cmd.exe is just a console application using the Windows console facility
and it always was.

Up to Windows Vista/2008, the Windows console facility is implemented
partially as library and partially as a (kind of) service within csrss.

Starting with Windows 7, Microsoft introduced a special application
called "conhost.exe" which provides the console implementation.

Please stop thinking of cmd and the Windows console being one and the
same.
