Looking for a grid detailing which tool comes with which version of Windows

[Stephen Howe]

One of the most annoying thing working from the command line in Windows is
that each version of Windows comes with different tools or the command
processor internal commands change from versions of Windows.

For instance DELTREE comes with Windows 98, it does not come with Windows
2000, XP.

Is there somewhere (more than once place?) on the Internet, which details
which tools are available on which version of Windows, common enviromental
variables and command line differences?

It would be useful.

Thanks
