The current version of the free Cygwin server works pretty well. A
few years ago I might have used this one instead.  Now for running
a few remote apps it works nicely to (from a Cygwin bash prompt):
export DISPLAY=:0
Xwin -multiwindow &
ssh -X remote_server
 ..login, start programs...
Each X progam started will open it's own window that pretty much
acts like a native MS window.

If you are going to run many applications from the same remote
host you might want to enable XDMCP logins and:
Xwin -query remote_server
 and run the whole desktop remotely.

Some people run a local window manager like windowmaker, but I'm not
quite sure why.
