Xming is the leading X Server for Microsoft Windows 8/7/Vista/XP (+ server 2012/2008/2003). It is fully featured, small and fast, simple to install and because it is standalone native Microsoft Windows, easily made portable (not needing a machine-specific installation). This is a public domain release from sourceforge.net. X server for Windows: Xming. The Xming``server' allows external X11 processes to display windows on your Windows PC.More recent Mac's should already have this capability under OS X and Unix (Linux) installations typically have this capability, so they won't need Xming.
