...except that will not happen. Even on POSIX platforms, it is not Konsole's
job to install shells, nor does it have any dependency (at package level) on
any particular shell being present. You just "get lucky" in that most Linux
systems have GNU bash. On Windows there is a much wider range of shells that
people might want to use, so relying on any particular one - even if it were
KDE's job to port one (which it isn't; it would be a huge amount of work just
to duplicate something that's already been done) - wouldn't be a good idea.

And besides, it's irrelevant; you can already get bash for Windows, in at least
three flavors I can think of offhand.
