Hell has indeed frozen over, and that's good news! From the screenshots, that actually looks like a proper terminal too.

I wonder what will happen to Powershell now.

Let's hope death by obsolescence. Being forced to learn a proprietary not-invented-here scripting language with little value-add over Bash is an anathema to any developer.

There's quite a few things that you can do with powershell on a windows os that you can't do with bash since the APIs aren't there.

It's not a conceptual stretch to have Bash adapters for .Net objects, PowerShell is unnecessary.
