There is a (perhaps a few) windows X server. (in the regular world, it's
called a client but
as X users know, X names it the other way around) If you're dying to do
stuff like this,
uh... Convince linux users to start using windows again in the first
place.. A :lot: just
switched to linux and kept w95 for some progs that aren't (and won't be)
ported to linux...
But as to total desktop facelift, I don't know. Apart from the fact I know
there's a
windows X client around. Which is useless unless yo run linux on a second
machine.
(not a bad idea, but often an out-of-budget idea.)
