Do you know there are two command shell environments in XP ? which one

In Microsoft Windows XP Pro ( I think this must be true for HOME Edition,
but don't quote on me), There is not one but two different command shell
environment. One is the old one COMMAND.COM and other one is CMD.EXE. Both
would do the job but they do it somewhat differently at a lower level.
Which one is better ? I have noticed that CMD.EXE is much better in
executing your commands. And this is true. CMD.EXE is the new command shell
environment. that is better by design.So if you want to try out even your
very old DOS apps, try it first in CMD.EXE. There is a very good chance
that it will work and will work better than in your old shell.
