Windows uses its own window environment, as does BeOS, as does QNX. Linux uses X. Are there any other window devices available for use besides X? Something viable preferably :)

The only ones I can think of are both commercial X servers. one is metro-x the other is x-i.
they both cost money though :) metro can be found at http://www.metrolink.com/products/MetroX/metroxdesktop.html
and x-i can be found at xig.com
personally haven't used either of them, but supossidly they have better support than xfree86 for some video cards.

I've heard of one called Y-windows... Don't know whether its a red herring... you might want to check into it.

I'll search for Y-Windows...does kinda sound fake huh ? :) Damn I checked out the other ones and none of them have screenshots, plus they're all X-based. I really hate the look of X, plus it's often a memory hog depending on what you're using. I'm looking for something clean and fast...like BeOS or QNX or Windows but stable and fast :)
