I think there's a lack of communication here.
You're saying "I can grab an X server, grab an X client, and run them
on an NT system, so NT runs X".
Other folks are saying "A normal, native NT application, like Excel,
cannot be made to display on an X terminal, so NT does not run X".
What else do [they] want? I suspect they want to be able to run, for
example, Microsoft Word, Microsoft Excel, the standard NT file
manager, etc, from a dumb X terminal.
