Just FYI - running the juju client on Windows is 100% supported and we actively fix bugs on it all the time. I hadn't seen the particular bug you referenced about juju ssh, but that definitely seems like something we should prioritize higher. The linux ssh works so much better because we can simply run the OS's ssh and everything Just Works, but that's not possible on Windows, so it's much more involved to make it work (we basically have to write an entire ssh client).
However, as a workaround, it would be pretty trivial to write a juju plugin to launch putty with the right parameters. Then you'd just do `juju putty 0` rather than juju ssh 0. Obviously, it would open putty, not a CLI ssh terminal, but the overall experience is probably a lot better than what we could provide.
