One of the things that excited me most about this is the ability to ssh. I have a feeling that is going to be incredibly useful instead of having to use PuTTY or some other client.
I suspect that you meant some other graphical user interface SSH client, as opposed to a TUI client like ssh. Yes, a TUI SSH client is useful. I've been using one with SFU/SFUA on a Windows 7 Ultimate machine for some years.
