As I see it it doesn't come with a free X-Server. It comes with some
xlib's but not with the server.
There's the Starnet and the Hummingbird X-Serv

The 3.0 version went up for the cost of the CD a few months ago so I

It always has to have the "interix" subsystem proces running to do
anything.

There is the SFU-3.5beta available from the MS SFU site for free.

I am very curious about SFU. But, alas, I am mistrustful of MS,
especially in regards to security. I'll probaly play with both. I also

30-day trial? It's actually a subset of the MKS toolkit, but is not
30-day restricted in any way. Previously, if you paid the $99, you got
most of what you would need anyway. Now

Who knows for sure what the *real* driving force that is behind this
change. However, it is timed very closely (concurrently?) with MS's
extension of 98, 98SE, and Me support through Fall 2006. The current
buzz on this change was that MS was afraid too many "orphaned" 98 users

Actually, this has always been a potential issue, since SFU has been around

unequivocally state must be resolved by putting Cygwin first in the path,
