Does Windows Vista Ultimate have built-in functionality to display graphics
from a remote Unix machine on a local Windows machine. In the past, I've had
to purchase terminal emulators and do a bunch of hocus-pocus to get this to
work properly. Any insight here would be appreciated.
 
Ultimate Vista and Enterprise Vista include UNIX capabilities - whether or
not for your specific purpose?

You might look into using VMware or Virtual PC (from MS) and run Linux in a
virtual session. Its possible VPC may not run Linux though. Check the
documentation...

I have not seen any X emulators for Vista yet, but they may exist...

Good luck...

I've found that xming is a great xserver, and its free. You can't ask for
much more! Ages ahead of the Cygwin X-Server.
