No, it fucking isn't.
There is no cd binary in the file system, it is not a command, you actually can't change the working directory from an external program, because that would only affect the external program and not the shell, that's why it's not a command.
cd is builtin to the shell.

Not the guy who you are responding to, but I disagree. The latest MS Office really get's in the way of its users, with self promoted shit like Sky drive and so on. Every now and then a pop-up window appears and asks for proxy settings... why in the hell does a word processor need web access? MS is trying to mimic Google and Apple and they are doing it badly.

LibreOffice, or OpenOffice, which I prefer, just get out of the users way.

But that's common between Windows and Unix/Linux counterparts. Annoying pop-ups and unnecessary features getting in the way of people who just want to get things done.

My guess is, that the Linux target audience still is high IQ achievers, and not the general public rot with IQs of under 100, so they need a stupid dog or paper clip telling them what to do.

I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you’re referring to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I’ve recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.
Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is often called “Linux”, and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project. There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use.
Linux is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine’s resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called “Linux” distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux.
