Telnet in Windows Vista

Where has Telnet gone in Windows Vista?

Relax, it is no longer installed as part of the default installation (?!?) but can be installed.  You just need to find the equivalent of the old "Install and Remove Windows Components" section of the old "Add / Remove Software"

1. From the Start menu, click Control Panel. ( wait 10 minutes for animation to stop )
2. Select Programs. ( wait 5 minutes for animation to stop )
3. From the menu of the left, select Turn Windows Features On or Off. ( err.. wait.... )
4. Scroll down, and then check the "Telnet client" box. (  nearly there...... )
5. Click OK.
