xterm is a UNIX terminal emulator, developed at MIT along with the X Window System in the early 1980's. It is also available on Linux, the BSD's, and other UNIX derivatives.

Mandatory quote of the times: Mr. Gorbachev, Tear Down This Wall!

It is kind of just like Windows Terminal, only it's been around for 36 years, has less bugs, and it's been mostly superseded by newer terminal emulator programs that got their inspiration from it.
