So you're disagreeing with my point that free Unices use XFree86, but agreeing 
with my point that free Unices use XFree86? That's somewhat confusing.

The "Cygwin" X11 server is just XFree86 running on Cygwin; a quick Google 
search would have revealed this. I agree with the fact that Interix is a big 
player, but I've only ever seen Cygwin deployed.

That is known as "rootless" X, as it does not manage the root window and 
instead depends on the platform's native window management. XFree86 already 
does this on MacOS X, and the same is planned for the next version of the 
Win32 port.
