SGF viewers
- Reference free software: GoSuite: Reliable display and editing of SGF files, with variations and all sorts of markup, play against GNU Go. Some small limitations: * It doesn't seem to be possible to promote a variation to be the main line of the game. * Only one game can be opened at once and no "Recent files"-menu and therefore switching between games is cumbersome.

Use software from a "real" computer with remote desktop software
If all else fails, you're free to use Terminal Services Client to connect to your desktop machine and run whatever software you like: play on IGS, KGS, etc.
