I wonder if in the EU edittion of Windows, MS introduced a command
called ciao ... or at least an alias to exit named ciao...

'ciao' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable
program or batch file.



Well we all probably think that it would _have_ to be Italy, but
ciao is used in may places around the world.  I work with someone
from Serbia and she ends calls with her husband/family with that
salutation.
