Why did they remove telnet from Vista?

June 13th, 2009 admin

The last post reminded me..

Try and run telnet on vista and you’ll be greeted with a “command not found” :-(

It’s easiyresolved – can be added using programs and features (yup – premove programs with a different name).

But why has it been removed?  I can’t see it as a security flaw? A telnet “server” – yes, but a telnet client??

At least it’s still in there somewhere….
