I just saw an announcement of DECwindows on a PC. It is called PCSA
Ver 3.0, from DEC, for $250. It runs out of expanded memory (sure wish
Sun Micro would teach PC-NFS how to do that instead of whining about
how hard it is) and leaves you with 512K for local applications. 

This sounds wonderful assuming that 

	1) it really works 
	2) DECwindows is another name for X 
	3) it runs over TCP/IP as well as DECnet. 

Has anyone used or seen this product and would they like to comment?
