i'm curious about one thing: the equivalence process of X11/Xorg in windows is only explorer.exe? because is not Xorg the graphical drawing protocol and Gnome/KDE/XFCE the GUIs? so if the windows shell (Luna for XP, Aero for Vista/7) are the GUI of Windows, running with the name of explorer.exe (i think), who are the graphical drawing responsible? i know explorer.exe is a mixture of window and file manager but... i'm just curious if there is any other process involved, or at least a differentiation, like X11 and Gnome
