Awesome! Glad you got it working. SSH (what you used) is definitely the way to go. You might also want to try VNC while you are at it, you have to run x11vnc (server) each time you want to connect on the tablet (by default anyway) and then use something like tightvnc viewer to view the screen on Windows. The reverse is much more useful though - controlling the desktop/laptop with the tablet. But yeah SSH is wonderful - and if you ever get around to installing or booting Linux on that computer give sshfs a try. Have fun.
