XCOPY deprecated - long live Robocopy!

I was recently surprised when I was working on a virgin Vista machine and found robocopy was already there.

I assumed it was part of the MS IT standard internal install of Vista.

I just noticed that when you run xcopy /? you get this:

C:\>xcopy /?|more
Copies files and directory trees.

NOTE: Xcopy is now deprecated, please use Robocopy.

Wow!

Also interesting (and expected) is that the Vista build of Robocopy no longer has kevina's email address in the /??? message.
