Been looking for a tabbed putty client for years. Though, I'm a bit saddened by the UI. While I do think it looks "good", I feel that the Chrome tab UI seems to be incredibly overused nowadays.
I do want a tabbed putty client, but this one doesn't support the Windows 7 Aero-Snap features that the standard putty client recently added support for, so I will hold off.
Previously, when you sent a putty window to the right-hand side of the screen with <Win>+<Right> (for example), it wouldn't resize, and you'd end up with the window sticking out and not taking up the correct area on the screen.
It also added jump list support. (Unless I somehow missed it's existence in the previous versions). So if you have it pinned on the task bar, your recently used sessions show up in the jump list and you can start them directly. It also provides access to puttygen and pageant from the right click menu.
I tried out PenguiNet on a previous recommendation from HN, and was sadly disappointed. They do not support setting the background and foreground colors separately from the explicit ASCII colors.
Due to various conditions with my eyesight, I can see the text on the terminal much more clearly when it's dark text on a light background. You can do this in PenguiNet, but then you loose the ability to specifically create black text in your output, since it's now the color of the background.
Putty's support for this feature is pretty much seamless, in contrast. I believe that this is on Silicon Cirus' wish list, but until that's supported it's mostly a non-starter for me.
For your case I can see that being a big deal. I'd strongly recommend PenguiNet for people with slightly more conventional needs--aside from feature reqs like this, I feel that it's head and shoulders above PuTTY and the programs that hang as a bag off the side of it like PuTTYCM.
all the tabbed versions i've played with have windows API artifacts, hangs, bugs, etc... probably the most successful thing i've tried was (tediously) konsole from KDE compiled using Cygwin
I've tried a few tabby things in my time, but settled on mRemoteNG for combined ssh (PuTTY), RDP, VNC, ICA tabbed goodness. If they could shoehorn Xming in there as well it would be near-perfect.
the first impression i had when clicking on the link, it's got to be a old and unmaintained project because it's on sourceforge... nice to see some new projects are still going there, good for them.

Could this be a misspelling/autocorrect of "features", or is using "feathers" here idiomatic? Not trying to point the finger, I'm curious.
Darn good for a 2nd++ language, though.

Now it actually works. :)
It had a few quirks, but it works.

It's a great idea, but not new...

It's REALLY awesome and I absolutely love it, but there hasn't been a release since 2006.
Thankfully, I haven't needed a new release.
For me so far the best (for working in teh cygwin bash (used Terminator before, and Putty, and Console2...)).
