Exceed is an X server.

If it's a complete X server, the answer is

   EXCEED.EXE -query name.of.linux.host

this works if xdm or kdm is running on the linux host and no
security has been configured.

This is called an XDMCP query: the linux host (client) will then manage the
complete graphical area of the windows box (server).

If this is inappropriate and/or the EXCEED.EXE software is a so-nice
program-with-buttons-everywhere-and-you-cannot-find-XDMCP-client
functionnality, then, alternatively, from the MS-* box do

   telnet name.of.linux.host

then when connected (assuming bash) do

   xterm -display windows.box.name:0

if this work, you can also launch fvwm2 or kde that way.

If it doesn't, either set the cookie on the Linux machine (with xauth)
or do the MS-* equivalent of xhost +name.of.linux.host
