Fullscreen Vista's Command Prompt, or Replacement

Fullscreen Vista's Command Prompt, or Replacement Opening the command prompt ("cmd") on Vista into full screen causes the application to take up 100% vertical space, but only about 50% horizontal. Is there not a way I can make this fullscreen? If it's simply not possible, what is a good replacement?

"This article explains how to do it in Vista

In short you need to specify the screen resolution manually in the Display Options.

Replacement? Powershell of course."

It’s a graphics driver issue. Vista uses hardware acceleration for the desktop, which is why the graphic card cannot switch to text mode (the system would lose track of the desktop). If you have an older VGA that doesn’t support Direct X 10, you should be able to use fullscreen text mode.

You can use ConEmu for ALT+ENTER fullscreen:
