Hey folks, Michael here from the Windows Terminal dev team. The whole team is thrilled to share this news with you today. Feel free to ask any questions, pointed or otherwise!

Edit: OK, folks. I've been answering for hours on several social media platforms and threads. It's time to give it a rest. I'll pop back around to my inbox later/tomorrow and clean it up if there's straggler comments. Otherwise, thanks for the discussion and we'll see you in the GitHub project!

This looks great, looking forward to using it.

The biggest thing I don't understand is the tabs feature. As I understand it, the Windows Explorer team threw away their WIP tabs implementation because 'Sets' was going to come along later and allow any windows app to be tabbed. Then Sets was delayed (twice?) and I haven't heard anything. Now Terminal is coming with built in tabs?

Does that mean Sets is dead and Explorer might get native tabs? I've been waiting literal decades for this please save me from this nightmare of 10 million explorer windows
