MAN, am I just an idea GENIOUS or what? Don't say what...cause I know its not true.
I was just thinking about how the command prompt in windows has evolved into the windows "console". You want to know what I think of when I think "console"?
Imagine any FPS game since DOOM...I mean Quake I, II, III, IV, Half-Life I, II, Unreal Tournament, you name it... How does the console work in an FPS? You press the tilde "~" key and it pops down. Press it again and it pops back up and disappears.
Thats how the windows OS console should be. It should be flashy and sweet lookin like in a game console ....even with animated graphics and translucency so whats behind it is visible. It should automatically put the keyboard focus into the console's input area and should be accessible at any time from the touch of a key or mouse button. It should always be there ...behind the scenes and monitoring everything. It should be available to go back and read anything that happened while you were away.
How sweet would that be?!
