Off topic:

It's easy. You should run VNC server on the linux and use the VNC
viewer from your windows. Look for TightVNC for a good client & server
implementation.

If you want something better (and have no objection to Cygwin), try this:
* MSWin - Install cygwin X11 libraries (all)
* Linux - enable the GDM (Gnome Desktop) XDMCP. They way I always
remeber how to do it is by looking for gdm.conf somewhere under /etc
then finding the first "Enable" in the file (which should be under the
XDMCP section) and setting it to true. You'll need to restart the gdm
process.
* from cygwin run 'xwin -query <linux host> &' and you should get the
gnome desktop :-)

HTH.
