VPN Client for Windows 7

I have to use Cisco VPN Client v4.6.* for work. It works fine on Windows XP. Recently, as one of my Windows XP laptops went kaput, I upgraded to Windows 7 and am loving it. However, the Cisco VPN client would not work anymore. I tried to download a newer version (v5.x) from Cisco, but for several months their online registration just would not work (hard to imagine such a giant company couldn’t get such a simple thing working). So I had to hunt for alternatives.

Now I am using ShrewSoft VPN Client. It is extremely simple and fast to install and configure. The whole experience from download, installation, configuration to use took less than 10 minutes. It supports importing of Cisco VPN connection profiles (.pcf files). It has good online documentation, and its free!
