Have you looked into VNC from AT&T Laboratories Cambridge?

        http://www.uk.research.att.com/vnc/

You could run VNC's "Unix server" (really X server for Unix) under
Cygwin to display X output on a "virtual screen", then use the Win32
VNC Viewer to access it. Valery Tulnikov got this going on an earlier
version of Cygwin - I don't know what, if anything, is involved in
updating it.

As far as I know, this is your only alternative to MI/X unless you're
prepared to spend money!
