The new console will have a working auto-complete before it is released. 
My goal now is to add the console to the existing GUI, preferably in a 
way where it integrates with the existing session list, and allows 
multiple open consoles at the same time.

The trouble with categorizing this by OS is screen space -- we could show 
a directory structure view of the modules, but we would not be able to 
display the full name of each module in the list. Instead of organizing 
the modules by OS, I planned on changing their titles to be more 
consistent (so all Microsoft modules have the MSB reference in the name 
and the word Microsoft in the title) and expand the search functionlity 
in the GUI to look at descriptions and targets.

This will be solved in future releases (there is a way to block commands 
in the console, the IRB command is already blocked in msfweb this way).

Uploading the second test version now...
