Gosling and Rosenthal of Sun Microsystems have been comparing X-Windows to
Sun's NeWS for years.   If one substitutes "Display PostScript + NeXTStep"
for "NeWS" much of this analysis applies.   Sun, probably Bill Joy,
used to be almost viciously opposed to X Windows, but now embrace it for
commercial reasons.  This analysis is given in the recently published
"NeWS" book.
