Microsoft is making Windows Terminal the default command line in Windows 11

Microsoft has announced that Windows Terminal is set to become the "default command line experience" for Windows 11 users next year.

The company had already hinted at this possibility a couple of months ago with the release of a preview build of Terminal. In Windows Terminal Preview 1.12, the option was introduced to set the tool as the default terminal emulator, but now plans have extended so that all Windows 11 users will have Windows Terminal by default.
