I don't want to get into a "my-emacs-is-better" flamewar -- both NTEmacs 
and XEmacs are great packages.  However, I do want to clear up a 
misunderstanding:

Despite the name "XEmacs", the packages built for windows and for cygwin 
do NOT require an Xserver.  In fact, they don't contain the X code at 
all.  (You *can* build an X-based XEmacs for cygwin, but the official 
package is not built that way).
