This is just a guess, since I've mostly used GUI access (VNC, Citrix and lately RDP).

I would say SSH use in Windows is quite limited, depending on what you want to do, because historically most Windows developers lack the culture to separate application code
from UI, which leads to many applications to be available in GUI form only.

This has been changing in the last years since Microsoft introduced Powershell and due to market pressure created headless versions of Windows. But even if Microsoft would do everything the correct way, programmer culture takes years to change.

Oh, certainly!

Does anyone suppose it would work better (or at all) to ssh into MSYS/MinGW?
Anyone tried?

Also I'm curious: what sort of problems were there ssh-ing into win?
