Having just bought a house in the SF Bay Area, I can tell you that it is definitely no longer necessary to have a 20% down payment -- you can even avoid PMI with as little as 5% down with 80-15-5 type financing. Anyone who can scrape together just a little bit of money should really be buying a house now. The interest rates are just too damn good to pass up.
I just watched a co-worker using X on cygwin it was quite snappy (though on a >1GHz Athlon). Not bad, really. Though I do agree the terminal emulation is imperfect, but that's a totally seperate issue from the X server.
