When hanging out in Windows land, life is pretty rough without PuTTY. And while PuTTY is awesome, it too is missing a few nice features. One noticeable default lack is the inability to open multiple tabs with sessions in a single window, as is common for terminal applications on Linux and OSX.
Luckily, there is the PuTTY Connection Manager! This serves as a container that spawns PuTTY processes. It not only allows tabs, but also a nice view of saved sessions, automatic login ability, import and export of your encrypted config database, and more!
