This is also a big win for Windows users since the SSH setup procedure is complicated and error-prone on that platform. Once Windows tools start supporting Smart HTTP, the barrier to start using Git on Windows will be much reduced.
SSH-related issues on Vista consumed, oh, about three days of my life. Using Putty: not bad at all. Tunneling over SSH to do anything useful like Capistrano deploys or Git: owwwwwwwwwww.

Is there something different about Putty on Vista? We use it on XP for tunneling all the time.
