You forget, it's been a very long time since the command prompt was actually required for use of an OS. It's quite possible that this user has honestly never had any use for it.

"it's been a very long time since the command prompt was actually required for use of an OS" - you might be surprised next time you try an Unix-based one.

I can't imagine managing an OS without a command prompt and scripting capability.

I've been using PowerShell so long I can't remember what cmd can actually do.
