You could look at Exceed (which works VERY well, on
systems it works on) or Cygwin.

Cygwin is free, and runs under XP, but it creates
a seperate desktop under Windows that kind of "seperates"
the X-Windows programs from Windows.  It's good enough
to use, though it has some limitations.

Exceed integrates the X-Windows programs directly into
Windows; they act just like another program, take up
space the same, etc.  It works great... on OSes it
supports.  Windows 95, 98, 98SE, and NT I know are
supported; Windows XP is NOT supported, and it just
won't run under XP.  It's also not cheap, ~$250US IIRC,
though it includes a number of other useful items,
such as graphical traceroutes, Gopher clients, FTP
clients, etc.

For BOTH of these, I would also strongly recommend that
you use PuTTY as your initial login environment; if you
enable X11 forwarding via SSH tunneling, you can connect
to any system and immediately open X-Windows if you have
the Exceed Daemon or Cygwin running.
