Actually, there is no NX server for Windows, since NX works specifically 
with the XWindows protocol.  However, the NX client seems to be able to 
connect to VNC and RDP servers, and claims to be able to speed up those 
connections compared to other VNC and RDP clients.

I don't know how this ability to use other protocols compares between 
FreeNX and NoMachine NX, as I've never tried it.
