In 1993, the XPC project group developed Xmark93, a standardized benchmarking tool for measuring the performance of computer systems running the X Window System.
Microsoft Windows is not shipped with support for X, but many third-party implementations exist, as free and open source software such as Cygwin/X, and proprietary products such as Exceed, MKS X/Server, Reflection X, X-Win32 and Xming.
