Do you *truly* need a Windoze version of X?

Have you considered using the Windoze version of VMware to run Linux
*within* windoze - which gives you a standard Xfree86 server whilst
simultaneously running windoze.

Better still, boot into Linux and run your Windoze applications within
Linux/Xfree using WINE (if you are lucky) or either VMware or plex86
(which is free BTW).
