I'd like to know if there is an X-Windows server that can run under
MS-Windows.  I know of the existence of Deskview/X, but that appeared
to not run MS-Windows on the same machine, although it could display
MS-Windows that was running on another machine.  Am I right?

The situation is that I use a Sun at work running X.  I must be able
to use X in order to run the applications on the (Sun/Unix) network.
However, I would like to be able to use some of the same software at
work as I do at home (like a personal information manager).  Sooooo,
if I could run X on a (suitably souped up) PC (any suggestions in that
regard?) AND run MS-Windows, I'd have a nice work environment.  I
MIGHT be able to get my boss to spring for a PC to replace my Sun --
the chances of having a PC in addition to the Sun are around nil.

What can the folks on the net tell me?  I appreciate any/all
information you can send my way.
