Once you've added 4DOS, maybe. But who uses that any more?

Windows still has nothing at the level of Bourne shell (unless you
install Cygwin, of course, and who will let you do that?). There have
been many possibilities: 4DOS (died after 3.1), REXX (died with OS/2),
but CMD.EXE is what we're still stuck with. I won't bother to explain
why this is an important indicator.
