Are you just interested in the changes made by changelist X? p4 diff2 and p4
describe can both give you that info. Both P4Win (Diff 2 Folders ...) and
P4V (Diff Against ...) have gui's for this. None of these update your
workspace.

Alternatively if you want to capture the state before and after a changelist
you can create two branches using p4 integrate that can then easily be
browsed with P4Win or P4V. Specifying the -v option to p4 integrate you can
prevent it from updating your workspace.

There are most probably better ways depending on exactly what you want to
achieve and why.
