You can also use Cygwin and the ’sshx’ tramp method.
Does the plink approach support Control Master (or something analogous)?
I ended up switching from NTEmacs to hosting a Linux VM on my Windows box and running Emacs remotely on that, using Cygwin’s X.org server to give it a local display within Windows. Works nicely, and using Tramp is far more pleasant with Control Master to keep the connection open — the time wasted continually opening and closing ssh connections is really significant.
However, if plink does much the same thing, then there’s no particular need to go down that path.
