@stijn: 1. I have not ever use it; 2. I have no enough bandwith; 3. I prefer shell than desktop environment.– JichaoOct 17, 2010 at 9:18

You could enable the Telnet server in Windows, but as Telnet is generally insecure, I wouldn't recommend it. However, you could set up an SSH server using Cygwin that would allow you to remotely connect to a Windows 7 computer via SSH (Secure Shell). Lifehacker has a fairly straightforward guide on just that.

1I highly recommend OpenSSH for Windows. Telnet is NOT the way to go as it is very insecure as you pointed out, SSH uses encryption.– qrobertsJun 29, 2011 at 13:19
Windows remote management and remote shell are built-in:
