Followup! Windows Terminal Preview is now in the Windows App Store! #Microsoft #Terminal « Adafruit Industries – Makers, hackers, artists, designers and engineers!

Our June 12th post on Windows Terminal caused a great stir. The wait is now over – the Preview of Microsoft Windows Terminal is now in the Windows App Store!

EARLY PREVIEW BUILD This very early preview release includes many usability issues, most notably the lack of support for assistive technology. Much of the internal work to support this is complete and it’s our top priority to support assistive technology very soon. To follow progress please follow this issue on GitHub: https://github.com/microsoft/terminal/issues/634

ABOUT WINDOWS TERMINAL The Windows Terminal is a new, modern, fast, efficient, powerful, and productive terminal application for users of command-line tools and shells like Command Prompt, PowerShell, and WSL. Its main features include multiple tabs, Unicode and UTF-8 character support, a GPU accelerated text rendering engine, and custom themes, styles, and configurations.

This is an open source project and we welcome community participation. To participate please visit https://github.com/microsoft/terminal

See this Microsoft post for more details. Adafruit plans on a quick guide on installing and using Windows Terminal “very soon ™”!
