Hi,

I am not sure if this answers your question but if you are looking for
a possibility to connect to a Linux box from a Windows machine for
free you might want to have a look at the NxClient/Server here:
http://www.nomachine.com/products.php
They have a free edition which allows a maximum of two users to
connect to the Linux box. If you want/need more you have to pay.

Essentially, NxClient gives you the Linux Desktop in a Windows window
and allows you to work on your Linux machine as usual. The
communication is done over SSH. It even enables copy-paste between the
two machines.

If that helps...
