Are there any plans to support graphical guest applications running in a native Windows window, like VMWare Fusion? Their client/server VS Code demo where only the UI runs in Windows seems really bizarre to me. Why not just run X? I suppose you could pipe X over SSH but it would be nice to get built-in support without the hassle or performance penalty.

Their equivalent of vmware fusion is hyperv.

Is it? I didn't think Hyper-V allowed separated windows. The only resource I've found that does this effectively is X410.

Cygwin Xorg does this.
