One solution is to build and run Xapplications on Linux but remotely display them on the Client desktop.
<A HREF="http://x.cygwin.com/" title="cygwin.com">Cygwin/X</a cygwin.com> is a port of X.Org's <A HREF="http://www.x.org/" title="x.org">X Window System</a x.org> to the Microsoft Windows family of operating systems. Cygwin/X runs on all recent consumer and business versions of Windows; as of 2003-12-27 those versions are specifically Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows Me, Windows NT 4.0, Windows 2000, Windows XP, and Windows Server 2003.
Also Microsoft offers a X Server For XP and Win2k in <A HREF="http://www.microsoft.com/windows/sfu/" title="microsoft.com">Services For Linux (SFU)</a microsoft.com>; now a free download.
Both packages offer rootless mode, which allows X applications to run side by side on the same desktop with normal windows applications.
