Tabbed PuTTy client

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.
I was confused about those, by the way. What exactly does the new Aero support in putty do? I haven't noticed anything different in how it behaves.
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.
Now it actually works. :)

Oh, I see now. I guess it has worked in mintty for a while, and I didn't even notice it wasn't working in putty.
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 use PenguiNet over PuTTy - nice clean interface and excellent support - http://www.siliconcircus.com/
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.
I use poderosa as my tabbed putty/cygwin client

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.

Have a look at http://sourceforge.net/projects/poderosa/ , the latest beta is from June 2011. I have been running it daily and it is very stable for me.
Whoa, thanks. I moved to PenguiNet because older builds of Poderosa had severe and crippling rendering problems, but I'll give it another shot.
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'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.

From the description:
"The session management and autologon is included and more feathers will come."
Could this be a misspelling/autocorrect of "features", or is using "feathers" here idiomatic? Not trying to point the finger, I'm curious.

...and I use TakeCommand/LE.
For me so far the best (for working in teh cygwin bash (used Terminator before, and Putty, and Console2...)).

Nice, I keep finding myself pressing ctrl-T when I'm using putty. Now hopefully will actually do something.
I think this is great! its simple and works... also it remembers my SSH keys for each instance.
If you use Pageant with PuTTy you need not worry about what SSH keys for which server.

My office uses the existing PuTTy Connection Manager for tabs.
It had a few quirks, but it works.
It had a few quirks, but it works.
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.
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'd like to see tabs support in mintty...
cygwin + ssh + screen is my simple solution
Or Connection Manger with arrangable tabs: http://puttycm.free.fr/cms/
It's a great idea, but not new...
