I'm looking for a terminal emulator on Windows 7 (64 bit) with a specific feature:

to be able to split the command prompt window into multiple panes.

It's a great feature of Terminator for gnome, I think this image describes it best:

enter image description here

Notice that every pane is a different shell with different applications

NOTE: this question is similar to another one I asked: Terminal emulator with split panes for Mac OSX, but this time I'm asking for a solution in a Windows environment

EDIT: for reference, here's more about Terminator: http://www.tenshu.net/terminator/

I just saw this mentioned in another answer, and remembered that you were looking for something like this.

PowerCmd

PowerCmd

I just use Console2 with TCC/LE and PowerShell, myself.

PowerCmd needs administrator privilege to run, so on Vista/Win7 it will trigger a UAC prompt each time you run it, quite annoying. – user68795 May 13 '11 at 7:42
Unfortunately it doesn't handle terminal colors like cmd. – Adam Mar 22 at 10:23

According to the home page for Terminator, it's cross platform and runs on Windows. So... Terminator?

No. That's a software with the same name and without the feature I described. The Terminator I'm referring to is this: tenshu.net/terminator – Silvio Donnini Apr 7 '11 at 22:13
Ah, sorry then! – Mark Allen Apr 8 '11 at 21:21
I didn't know about this one. Thanks! – h3xStream Aug 16 '12 at 22:09
