What about Citrix WinCenter. It is, for lack of a better analogy, a Hummingbird Exceed in reverse. Exceed lets you X into a UNIX
box and get your desktop on a PC. WinCenter allows you to get a Windows desktop on a UNIX system. It comes up like another window
in CDE on the AIX box.
Have used both products for years now with very good success. Of course WinCenter is not running the PC apps on AIX, it requires a
real PC and only the graphics are displayed on the UNIX desktop. Likewise, Exceed is really running on a real UNIX box and only
displaying on the PC.

Okay, I dusted off the cobwebs and remembered the name of the second
product. It was called "NTrigue" and was also by Insignia
Solutions. Don't know if you can still buy it (it was a great product at the
time) but there is still information about it on the web:
