And anyway, it's bad form to advertise your commerical software like that in blog comments, especially on an open source related blog.

I have a better recommendation for Windows users: Don’t use the freedom-trampling software recommended above (nor Windows) and switch to Linux.

For windows users, I can recommend either <a href='http://www.putty.org/' rel="nofollow">PuTTY</a> (lightweight, open source, zero install process) or <a href='ftp://ftp.ssh.com/pub/ssh' rel="nofollow">SSH Secure Shell 3.2.9</a> (older free version of their commercial client, good sftp support, way more featureful than putty). Thanks for the plug ;)

No version of windows comes with an SSH client. Heck, Vista doesn't even come with a TELNET client! I'd recommend AbsoluteTelnet for both telnet and ssh. Check my sig below for a link.
