The pithy ruminations from "Brian Vagnoni" on 
<[PLUG] Fw: X-Win32 V9: The Ultimate PC X Server!> were:

We use X-Win32 pretty heavily here at $WORKPLACE, and I'm quite fond of it.
If you've got to run Windows, and you need an X server, X-Win32 is a good 
choice. I've used Cygwin-X (which would probably be my personal choice), but it 
requires a lot of maintenance and support...more than I want to do for a whole 
bunch of Windows desktops. X-Win32 is a very clean, fast X Server, and the 
company is quite responsive to feature requests & bug reports. Their 
development/release cycle is very fast too.


X-Win32 v9 looks like it has some really nifty features. Essentially, it's a
VNC service that's integrated with the X-Win32 client. Unfortunately, we won't 
be taking advantage of most of those new features, as they require a new 
server-side daemon. That's something I'm not yet ready to install.

I am very interested in hearing from people who've actually deployed the "Live 
server" side of X-Win32 v9.

Thanks,

Mark
