Tzafrir,
Installation of Cygwin/Xfree86 *used* to be non-trivial, but now it's
pretty simple.
All you have to do is to install Cygwin (one click from the cygwin
site), and then untar the Xfree binary archives.
I use it at our company to access a Linux server from Windows, and it
works perfectly. Especially compared to what we used in the past
(vncviewer+Xvnc... slow!).
I can certainly recommend Cygwin/XFree for production environments.
Gavrie.
