I guess I didn't phrase things carefully enough.  I understand that 
Xwindows is not included, etc.  What was trying to say that the utility 
of being able to SSH into a Windows machine seems to have limited 
utility to me since 99% of all the programs that runs on that platform 
are GUI only.  At that point, using something like Rdesktop only makes 
sense but then you don't need SSH anymore.  Make sense?

Well.. that would be an interesting conversation and I doubt we would 
agree on much (Unity, constantly churning things, etc)   ;-)
