I believe there is an X server available in Cygwin http://www.cygwin.com/
Otherwise, here is a link to some instructions and a free version of
Microimage.

Just wanted to say that I have used the cygwin setup to do this; it's pretty easy.


Just establish a ssh X session (ssh -X), then launch an xterm. (though, you'll need to setup some things for ssh first. There's a variety of suggested methods for this. A good overview is available at http://www.cs.odu.edu/~cs252/unix/xwin.html#xx__1_5 )

Peace,
Clayton
