It can definitely be done and there are a number of different ways to do it. The first is setting up and ssh server on the ubuntu machine[1] and using putty [2] on the windows side. This gets you a command line. If you want to run graphical apps on the ubuntu machine, but displaying on the windows side then you can get an X-server for the windows machine as part of cygwin [3] and then use the ssh within cygwin with the -X option. Another option is VNC [4] which can be used to get the desktop you see when you log into ubuntu displaying on the windows machine. These are in order of increasing bandwidth requirements.
