Gracias a un post de un weblog me entero que Whidbey tendrá un mejor soporte para las aplicaciones de consola incluyendo al menos lo siguiente:

• Uso de una sola tecla sin tener que presionar Intro.
• Uso de colores
• Uso de máscaras para proteger información (tal como contraseñas)
• Modificar el tamaño (y título) de la ventana
• Mover partes de la pantalla a otro lugar

¡Excelente!

yes COLOR in the Console!! and beeping and more...

However, if you are playing with the Console Demo App from theBCL teams' website, be sure that your console windows settings in WinXP (other versions?) is set to open to a Window rather than full-screen.

I have no idea how this works in .NET 1.0 or 1.1, but it's obviously an issue with Whidbey alpha bits as I get an error any time I try to do something with Console like set the size or title.

It's fixed in the beta from what I've been told.
