Of course. 40,000 viruses can't be wrong about windows as the platform
of choice...

Ummm, yes. X includes it on the console screen if you enable it
in the X config. But, you don't need vnc for remote access anyway
unless you want it for some reason. X by itself has always been
able to work remotely, either with a full desktop or individual
windows from remote machines. Most Linux distributions do include
vncserver (for additional sessions besides the console one) and
vncviewer. No windows distribution includes VNC - it is always
a 3rd party addon.

Sometimes it is, sometimes it isn't. Sort of like a videophone being
more useful than just voice. You don't always need the moving pictures.
Sometime you might prefer to just talk/type.
