This was the first time I had actually done something useful on Windows (apart 
from a quick browser surf here and there) for about a year. It's my 
girlfriend's machine and has putty so I used it.

I'm in the lucky position of not needing Windows for anything whatsoever, so 
the annoyance of navigating putty once a year is far better than trying to 
install something else more to my liking (which I would never use of course)
