1) convert ps to pdf (it will take more time)
2) install cygwin and use xdvi
3) setup a linux crunching-number machine, share your directory with 
samba (so you can access files from desktop) and access the linux 
desktop (compile and visualize with xdvi) using vnc. If you want to 
compile from the text-editor menu, you can use ssh (or use kile/texmaker 
with linux).
