I guess there could be malicious uses for it, and it's something that the average user probably doesn't need. As for Hyperterm, I think that may have been a licensing issue... after all, Microsoft doesn't own HyperTerm. @Jeff,

This makes no sense to anyone with sense. Most people that use telnet regularly probably have a telnet application installed anyway, but the power of having this always as a command line in windows is very powerful for a troubleshooting situation, most time with helping someone else test that they are getting to a certain port on a server etc you tend to use telnet to do this. It helps that it is already there, and that you don't have to walk a user though installing a telnet application first. I don't even do tech support like I used to, and don't have to use this as much, but still everyone once in awhile while helping a friend etc this will be a issue. MS must have no sense at all to do this, even removing Hyperterm, that I use tons of, because I work on routers and switches with console connections most the time, makes no real sense to me, I am really starting to hate Vista for more reasons every day as well.

So now I have telnet, SSH and serial in one product. That should be all that you need. Curunir Well, I have just found that my favourite SSH client PuTTy now supports serial in version 0.60.

Another crazy post! No telnet? I wonder what the motivation was for that decision. It's not like they are trying to strip down the OS; Vista is still as bloated as anything. Weird, weird, weird.... I don't personally use Vista, and every week it becomes less and less of a need (or even a want) in our corporate environment. I likely will end up getting on the bandwagon at home. I've been around long enough to know that it just doesn't pay to stick to the past, but I doubt I'll go Vista until I build a machine for Starcraft 2. :) Catching up on your posts!
