    I am aware that somewhere within AT&T (I can't say where) there is 
    already work being done on devising a method to provide MS Windows
    compatability (through emulation) using X.

I don't believe its any secret that Microsoft has said it is working
on a 3-phase PM/X project, with phase 1 being the Common X Interface
it developed with HP, phase 2 being a local PM implementation under
Unix, using a peer interface with an X server, and phase 3 being
distributed PM using an X protocol extension.
