X11 fordwarding from linux to windows

If you are working under linux with a X server and want to use an X application that runs at another linux machine you should just

ssh -Y user@server

and start the application. The application will run on the "server" machine, but it will be displayed on your screen.

If you are running windows and want to use an X application that runs on your linux machine just use Xming from http://www.straightrunning.com/XmingNotes/ .
