With Quarterdeck making their run with DESQview/X let's expand this
question.
   * Will we see full X Windows support in MS Windows (client, server,
     and XLIB)?  When?  Who?
   * An old posting from Microsoft stated that they were working on
     a Motif API for MS Windows.  When?  ... or should we call
     Quarterdeck?
   * With Microsoft and IBM as OSF member companies, shouldn't we
     PC applications developers hedge our bets and expand our potential
     markets by seeking and targeting X/Motif software platforms?
I would like to hear from anyone who has or is contemplating developing
a product which allows me to target XLib/Motif and cover MS Windows
platforms.  (XVT is one but misses the mark.)

Thanks!
