It's pretty simple stuff, allows you to Telnet/SSH and get a Cygwin session, it's tabbed, you can customize stuff around, it does what it's supposed to do and that's just fine by me.</p>
<p>So, if you're a Windows guy (or Windows User By Force) and you need it .. hey, give it a try ;) .. or comment on something better ;)</p>
