On windows, we only support terminals similar to the windows command shell.

From the screen shot, it looks like the prompt is also not being displayed. Are we also missing the shell's startup banner?

Can you provide the steps to reproduce this for people who haven't tried to use putty/ssh to access a Windows machine? Please include any required download and configuration steps.
