Win32 transparent terminal

This has bothered me for some time under windows - crappy terminals.  Not only that, but 'cmd' sucks as a shell, and the new "Power Shell" is almost worse.

Then I came across this: http://sourceforge.net/projects/console/

It is a transparent, tabbed terminal, for windows.  It works great.  Problem is, it hosts 'cmd' shells.  Gah.

I looked around for things to replace it with, and found nothing.  There are a few implementations of bash - notably cygwin, GnuWin32, and UnxUtils.  All of these work.  The only problem is that only cygwin's "ls" and other utils properly spit out windows based colored text.

No big deal, cygwin it is:

Re: Win32 transparent terminal

I would like to see tabbed and transparent PuTTY instead.
