I do want a tabbed putty client, but this one doesn't support the Windows 7 Aero-Snap features that the standard putty client recently added support for, so I will hold off.
Previously, when you sent a putty window to the right-hand side of the screen with <Win>+<Right> (for example), it wouldn't resize, and you'd end up with the window sticking out and not taking up the correct area on the screen.
It also added jump list support. (Unless I somehow missed it's existence in the previous versions). So if you have it pinned on the task bar, your recently used sessions show up in the jump list and you can start them directly. It also provides access to puttygen and pageant from the right click menu.

I was confused about those, by the way. What exactly does the new Aero support in putty do? I haven't noticed anything different in how it behaves.

Now it actually works. :)
Oh, I see now. I guess it has worked in mintty for a while, and I didn't even notice it wasn't working in putty.
