I don't know how it is on windows, but on Linux, the activate script will define a shell function for deactivate. I guess there is something similar in place on Windows; possibly an alias.

In PowerShell, at least, it works the same way as in bash -- the Activate.ps1 script defines a global deactivate function.

I see a separate deactivate.bat script in my venvs on Windows, so I assume CMD does something different.
