I understand that pretty much everything is "still there", one exception that I happened to notice recently is that there is no debug.

C: \Users\Jim>debug
'debug' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

By the way, if you are planning to use xcopy for large copies for say backup purposes you may well find that there is a huge performance improvement by using robocopy, especially over a network and very especially over a network with a large latency such as most home broadband or say transatlantic links. I can't recall the exact details now but I think it amounts to robocopy being multi-threaded and that xcopy may use a very small fixed block size.

see - robocopy /MT
