He uses the pIqaD font found here: 
<http://blogs.msdn.com/b/shawnste/archive/2013/05/20/piqad-font-for-bing-s-klingon-translator.aspx>, 
which uses Everson's Unicode code points. Interestingly, it includes a 
web font. Without a corresponding input method editor, the font is of 
limited use. Has anybody written one?

I've got the latest Windows 10 preview build, but I don't know how he 
got pIqaD to appear in that Command Prompt window. There is no 
localization for Klingon. I suspect this was a developer's joke.

The font creator has more blog posts about Klingon on Windows here:
