Xming is the leading X Window Server for Microsoft Windows (XP/2003/Vista/7). It is fully featured, lean, fast, current, simple to install and because it is standalone native Microsoft Windows, easily transported portable as a Pocket PC X server.

Xming is totally secure when used with SSH and optionally includes an enhanced PuTTY Link SSH client and a portable PuTTY replacement package. Xming can work completely independent of the Window's registry when used with Xming-portablePuTTY.

Interactive 3D graphics capability is provided compatible with OpenGL/GLX.
