It uses windows itself as the window-manager - it integrates well with the windows environment. It's commercial, but the download/demo runs forever - though after the 'grace periond' is over, it'll shut down after a while (2hrs?). Imric's Tips for Living Paranoia Is a Survival Trait Pessimists are never disappointed - but sometimes, if they are very lucky, they can be pleasantly surprised... Even though everyone is out to get you, it doesn't matter unless you let them win.

You can run either a "rooted" (X Windows managed, eg: using twm, Motif, WindowMaker, KDE, etc.), or "rootless" ("native" MS Windows managed X apps) mode. Latter is useful if you want to toss an X app onto a Windows desktop. Former is preferred by those who like a real desktop environment. XWin32 will run either way, as will Exceed & Reflection X. Cygwin only runs rooted, though it can do fullscreen or windowed versions of this. --\r\n Karsten M.
