You should check out the cygwin tools (http://sourceware.cygnus.com) ..
It's a complete compiler/fileutils/everything package for NT. It's pretty
cool, comes with bash and gcc and all kinds of cool stuff :)

On the page for cygwin, there is a link to the X11R6 client libraries and
apps (xterm and the like). The clients can connect to any X server, and
lemme tell you it was weird to have bash in an xterm on my linux box with
a prompt in /c//winnt/system32 or something like that :) If you have an X
server running on the NT box (hence Exceed), you could connect to that
instead. 

It'd be interesting to see a window manager compiled with the cygwin tools
:)
