An alternative console window for PowerShell

Hi, I know you all hate the current implementation of PowerShell's console
window.
Therefore I have a present for you (in case you don't already have it).

Recently, I found a promising open source console window alternative that
works great with PowerShell. It supports window resizing, background images
and custom hotkeys. I tested the latest stable release as well as the last
beta version and none of them ever crashed. There are a few issues though,
like multiple lines of code get pasted as one line, but it is in active
development and hey, it's open source ;-)

This is an excerpt from the help:

###############################################
Console is a Windows console window enhancement. It was inspired by eConsole
(http://www.informatik.uni-frankfurt.de/~corion)

Console features include:

multiple tabs
text editor-like text selection
different background types (solid color, image, fake transparency)
alpha and color-key transparency
configurable font
different window styles

NOTE: Console is NOT a shell. Therefore, it does not implement shell
features like command-line completion, syntax coloring, command history, etc.

Console is simply a nice-looking front end for a shell of your choice
(cmd.exe, 4NT, bash, etc.) Other command-line utilities can also be used as
'shells' by Console.

Console is hosted on Sourceforge. Get the latest news and updates there
(http://sourceforge.net/projects/console/).

BTW: I'm not involed with that software in any way.
