What Inter-Operability Is There Between X11 and Microsoft Windows?

Sadly there is no intrinsic support for the one system in the other, nor any signs of there being any in the forseeable future. Given the gradual convergence of "workstation" and "PC" hardware this seems strange, but no-one ever said that the world had to make sense!

However it is possible via 3rd party software packages to emulate Windows under X11, and also X11 under Windows, and users with mixed hardware are currently forced to take this approach.
