30+ reasons why X-Win32 is Better than Cygwin/X

I recently received a list entitled "30+ Reasons Why X-Win32 is Better than 
Cygwin/X".  I don't know enough at the moment (though I am learning) about 
the Cygwin/X server to be able to understand some of the reasons.  I have 
already created XWinLogon (http://www.calcmaster.net/visual-c++/xwinlogon/) 
and I am working to work on the Cygwin/X server so that all 30+ reasons will 
go away.  Can someone please explain the following:

3-D Hardware Acceleration for OpenGL - I am told that Cygwin/X supports this, 
but I use XWin_GL.exe.  What do they mean by this?

GDI Acceleration of X Graphics Primitives - I'm assuming this is a direct 
translation of X drawing routines to Windows drawing routines?  Like writing 
directly to the hDC?

Compensation for Cable Modem NATs (IPsmar) - I will probably look this one up 
myself.

Last Session Terminate Support - how might this be implemented?  Perhaps I 
could check all top-level window titles for Cygwin?  Any recommendations?

Anyone know how support for multiple users (Terminal Services) might be 
implemented?

I am just sending these questions out there so that everyone can see what I 
will be working on that I don't already know.  I understand that some of 
these are pretty easy to find out about, but if I could be pointed in the 
right direction, that would be great.

I expect that all of the GUI/multiuser stuff can be added within a couple 
months or so.  I will also be working on remote sound support and enterprise 
level scalability.

For anyone who wants to see the full list of reasons, I have attached it in 
this email.  I converted it from an XLS to text, so it looks kinda funny.  
The first column is a number, the second column is the name of the feature, 
the third column is what support Cygwin/X has for it and the fourth column is 
what support X-Win32 has for it.
