putty

I typically use Ubuntu for development and I've gotten used to having a full-featured terminal. Moving into a Windows environment for a .NET project, I've become increasingly frustrated with the shell application. I'm not even talking about the niceties of bash, such as tab-completion and sensible colors (which can be achieved through Cygwin with minimal effort). I mean things like being unable to drag-resize the window or copy and paste in a natural way.

Today, I decided to solve my problem using two of my favorite Windows applications: Putty SSH and Cygwin.
