if you're looking for X server for Windows, get cygwin:
http://www.cygwin.com/
It's free. You may want to make sure that you choose XFree86 (X server and 
it's related stuff) during install, because I don't think it's enable by 
default.
You may also want to install SSH client (bundled with cygwin). If you 
installed the XFree86 with cygwin, you then can open a cygwin console and 
type startx and you'll get an X server on a windows machine.
