No.
Similar results with M/IX. I've used and run XWin32, which is
reasonably priced, as well as Hummingbird Exceed, and WRQ Reflection X,
which are fairly high-end commercial products. Pricing ranges from
about $125 for XWin32 to something more than that for the other two. I
ran across a fairly complete product comparison page a week or so back,
don't remember where. Could have been XWin32, though I don't find it on
their site.
Here's a reasonable proxy: http://mbcr.bcm.tmc.edu/Guide/xemulator.html
If you can live with it, VNC is a pretty good alternative, though you
don't have the option of managing remote apps from your Legacy MS
Windows desktop independently of X:
