This is good. I'm just not very enthusiastic about the Windows terminal. I've used PuTTY for a very long time and it works great. Its terminal is good too. More recently I've tended to use Cygwin instead. Its default terminal, MinTTY, is as close as you can get to a Linux terminal on Windows. And then Cygwin also offers the openssh client, of course. The notable thing about the recent related news, IMO, is not that openssh-client is shipped with Windows. It's that openssh-server is now an option. A server properly integrated with Windows, and officially supported, that's a good thing to have.

MinTTY was originally based on PuTTY and while I may be a bit biased (having been sitting next to the developer in our day job in the period when he started developing it), I think it's actually a nicer terminal than pretty much any other I've met. If only for the feature wherein if you click on the last line in the terminal (including any wrapping) it'll work out how many characters are needed to move the cursor to that position and issue that many arrow-key presses.
