Enable telnet client in Windows 7

The telnet client is inexplicably disabled in a default install of Windows 7. It's there, but must be specifically enabled. Here are the instructions from technet:
  1. Click Start, and then click Control Panel.
  2. On the Control Panel Home page, click Programs.
  3. In the Programs and Features section, click Turn Windows features on or off.
  4. If the User Account Control dialog box appears, confirm that the action it displays is what you want, and then click Continue.
  5. In the Windows Features list, select Telnet Client, and then click OK
Annoying.
