This is post was updated 
by Olivier from Mobatek. The new features MobaXterm 2.2 can be found at the end of the article.
MobaXterm (formerly known as MobaXVT) is an enhanced terminal with an X server and a set of Unix commands (GNU/Cygwin) packaged in a single portable exe file.
MobaXterm includes a great multitab native Windows terminal, a new X server based on X.Org for easily export your Unix/Linux display and a lot of new GNU Unix commands. You can also use some of the free plugins for extending MobaXterm capabilities!
- The "split-mode" allows SysAdmins to monitor 4 servers at the same time
- The "save history" features allows them to easily keep some logs of their commands
- The ssh/telnet/rlogin/rsh/ftp/scp/sftp/rcp clients allow them to easily interact with remote Unix/Linux computers.

Jeff, I am glad you like the tool. It is certainly useful for Windows admins who also have to manage UNIX boxes.
Version 3.0 of MobaXterm came out recently. There have been quite a few additions and improvements to the software. My favorite is the file browser that you can use while in an SSH session.
