I think just your Windows Picture viewer will work. Here is a link with more information then you could ever want to know about .tiff.

You can use Microsoft office document immaging.
This app can usually be found under start/programs/microsoft office/microsoft office tools
A .tiff image is ready to be recognized by any OCR software. |

You can also get the very nice freeware file viewer "Irfanview," which will open just about anything, run slide shows, resize, and also convert the files to other formats. |
