MobaXterm was just pointed out to me by a student. I haven't personally run
a windows desktop since win2k at a corp-provided job in 2001. At that one,
I installed cygwin.

http://mobaxterm.mobatek.net/

There's a demo screen there that shows what all it can do. Lots of useful
stuff.


   - *Free X server* fully configured (based on Xorg)
   - *Tab-based terminal* based on PuTTY / MinTTY with antialiased fonts
   and macro support
   - *Easy DISPLAY exportation* from any remote host
   - *X11-Forwarding* capability in OpenSSH
   - Several Unix/Linux commands based on Cygwin (rsync, wget, sed, awk,
   grep, cd, ls, cat, cp, ...)
   - A session manager with all the network clients you need: RDP, VNC,
   SSH, telnet, rsh, FTP, SFTP and XDMCP
   - Program without installation that you can start *from an USB stick*
   - *Light and portable* application, packaged in a single executable


Home version is $0 and pro is 49 EUR/year. Sources are available as well
