I am not aware of any other *free* X server. However, there is a fully
functional demo (2 hour limit) from Startnet which is somehwat nicer:
http://www.starnet.com/docs/xwin32.html
For a comprehensive list of other commercially available X servers
consult Kenton Lee's page:
http://www.rahul.net/kenton/xsites.htm
Keep in mind that if what the MI/X is missing are fonts it is
relatively straightforward to install X fonts from any Unix
installation. Take a look at the Micro Images FAQ:

Good Luck!
Arlindo.
