That hasn't been true for some years. At least not necessarily so. Just
select one or more extra terminal packages (mintty is
good.. no.. excellent) and you can have colour and the like. Add the X
packages and you can have mouse usage and so on as well (AFAIK - I don't
use that myself). And all with the benefit of *n*x-alike tools to
support it.
