In Downloading PuTTY Safely Is Nearly Impossible (2014)OneDrive in Win8 breaks quite a few applications that measure disk space or read files without knowing about the new weird symlinky stuff that OneDrive uses.
e.g. https://bitbucket.org/windirstat/windirstat/issue/53/support...

In Massive increase to Onedrive storage plansI was going to suggest Chocolate -- it's like Homebrew for PowerShell, but it doesn't always install things where you want it to. And as it turns out, PuTTY might not be maintained as much as it once was -- or that's the rumour.
I was shocked by how many forks of PuTTY there are -- and most suck: https://github.com/FauxFaux/PuTTYTray/wiki/Other-forks-of-Pu...
Many recommend KiTTY but with an ad supported site that complains about adblock when you go SSL (after a warning) and includes hidden features -- well, that's not something I'd trust either.
In Downloading Software Safely Is Nearly ImpossibleA problem with both of these is when the stable branch of the project is reasonably dead (on account of being stable, and, say, hasn't had a release for 8 months[0]), but the actual development branch[1](es[2]) are much more alive, nearly even this week.
