Well NT does the same thing. You can run X programs on NT, and you can have X programs running anywhere display their output on NT. You can (using an emulator) run NT programs on a un*x system. The only thing you cannot do is to run an NT GUI applicationg on NT and display the output on a unix system. How would you implement that? And why do you want to do this in the first place?
