I believe .bat uses command.com as its shell, whereas .cmd uses cmd.exe.
For one difference, run command.com and type (from the root of C:):
cd Program Files
Then try it under cmd.exe
CMD is definitely preferable if you don't need the backward compatability,
ie. you may want to avoid .cmd in login scripts that may execute on Windows
95, 98 or ME machines....

Is that the only difference between bat and cmd? I've always wondered...

And instead of .bat make the file extension .cmd so it doesn't run in 16 bit
mode.
