Admittedly I haven't checked in a long time, but when I did last check
it asked me what shell I wanted when I went to single user mode. I'm a

Windows 98: n.
useless extension to a minor patch release for
32-bit extensions and a graphical shell for a
16-bit patch to an 8-bit operating system

written by a 2-bit company that can't stand for
1 bit of competition.
