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. – Mark Henderson Jan 12 '10 at 01:14

I can't imagine managing an OS without a command prompt and scripting capability. – Cheeso Mar 26 '10 at 22:15
