Microsoft should have renamed it to WINDLHLP.COM or something Windowsy like that, and none of these people would have dared touch it.

I noticed that "curl" in PowerShell is an alias, so you would have to deliberately say "curl.exe" to get System32\curl.exe

  C:\> alias curl

  CommandType     Name                                               Version    
  Source
  -----------     ----                                               -------    ------
  Alias           curl -> Invoke-WebRequest

That is for Windows Powershell, not Powershell (and yes Windows Powershell is different from PowerShell [1])

curl > curl.exe > C:\Windows\System32\curl.exe

Yeah they did the same thing with wget. Just absolutely bonkers

That's not the case in the latest versions of powershell.
