A good opportunity to remind everyone that we finally inboxed curl into Windows 10, so this works (with color output) from a stock Windows command prompt. Better late than never, I hope.

Can you explain more about why you thought this was a good opportunity to interject an advertisement for your product?

Windows is fairly transcendent in our culture, like it or not. It’s not Joe’s-10-person-company-not-relevant-to-99%-of-readers.
It's like if they commented on the Mac OS X announcements saying "Look, Windows can count to 10 too!"
Off topic, against the rules, flag it.

I don't think we need to hear about new Windows features on HN posts because they both mention cURL. GP is just taking the chance to advertise. It's like if they commented on the Mac OS X announcements saying "Look, Windows can count to 10 too!" Off topic, against the rules, flag it.
Not to put words in his mouth, but he’s probably just proud to have some influence on making Windows users’ lives a little easier and it would be an odd thing for him to expect people familiar with curl to suddenly become Windows partisans just because they’re now prepacking it (or generally for any Microsoft engineer to have much personal interest in convincing end users to adopt Windows personally).
