X11&SSH on Windows

Of the 3 most common desktop OS's (*nix, Mac OS X, and Windows), Windows is the only one not to include an X server of some kind. Several 3rd parties make X11 servers for Windows, but they're many many dollars. Thankfully, Starnet makes X-Win32 LX; X-Win32 is pretty much a fully featured X11 server, but it only accepts connections from your local IP/localhost. If you use SSH to connect to your remote X client, this isn't a problem for you. All Starnet asks in return is your email so they can send the registration info.
