Install Telnet client from command line

http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc771275(v=ws.10).aspx


Why didn't Microsoft leave the tiny telnet.exe as a default part of Windows? For security? Why don't you just use the elaborate Server Manager GUI to install this tiny single-executable? You could if you can't remember this:
1) From the command line:
pkgmgr /iu:"TelnetClient"
- or on Windows Server 2012 -
dism /online /enable-feature /featurename:telnetclient

Or why not just download PuTTY, ExtraPuTTY, or another fork?
