The phrase "X-Windows" appears only in your post. Alan quite carefully called it "The X Window System" rather consistently. :-)

And as for having an X11 server on a Microsoft Windows box, that's been around for quite some time via Cygwin. (If you look closely, you'll see the screen shots are dated 2003, so this isn't something that's happened terribly recently.)

Is the reference to Windows support in the release announcement referring to Cygwin/X, or something else though?
