Why do non technical users need to use PuTTY? Probably showing my general world knowledge ignorance here.

  There are still plenty of legacy green-screen (text based) applications alive in the corporate world that need to be accessed with an ssh or even telnet client.

  These aren't non-technical users - a lot of these are long-time UNIX/Linux sysadmins. It's important to note that, especially in large environments, has different skill levels. I know a guy that can go deep into analyzing a kernel dump and figure out exactly what made some obscure application crash, but god help him when it comes to doing basic functions on his Windows PC. Being good at your sysadmin job doesn't always correlate with correctly identifying shady sites.

    Detecting a shady website is a core competence of any admin.
