Well, VPN set up is quite a generic term.

OpenVPN should work on Windows Vista or Windows 7 http://snowulf.com/archives/622-Open...indows-7!.html

OpenVPN and Vista might have a problem with UAC as described here http://forums.untangle.com/openvpn/5...ate-works.html

I know CopSSH is Cygwin based. As soon as you start using more 3rd party Cygwin applications you'll run in DLL hell. I know CopSSH is OpenSSH 5.2p, but my experience with previous OpenSSH ports for Windows is that they are abandoned. By using Cygwin you easily are able to keep your Cygwin software centralized and up to date, while allowing other UNIX utilities to be installed. Using wget to grab a torrent while logged in with Terminal is just one example.

I don't have a tablet right now, and I wouldn't use VPN on Windows, but the howto I used to set up OpenVPN was https://help.ubuntu.com/community/OpenVPN

Also, RDP and NX clients do the resizing auto.
