Wine Terminal Servers?

e8johan asks: "I have been thinking about trying to sell a Linux based thin client solution to different markets, like schools. One of the big problems with migrating to Linux is the loss of old applications such as Microsoft Office. Has anyone tried to combine Wine and the LTSP? Does it work? If so, it would enable me (and anyone else) to sell services based on a free (as in libre and beer) server running both open office and their proprietary equivalents in a Windows-like environment, thus reducing the migration costs and making the offer more attractive." While this would be an interesting to tackle, would the licensing terms on some proprietary packages complicate such a system?

Ignoring licenses

[JohnFluxx]

This is a trivial project, if you ignore licenses.

If you take them into account, then you have yet another legal question to a group computer people.

Sorry

My apologies to e8johan. You asked for advice on how to implement your idea, not for comments on its value. I hate it when people do that to me, so I shouldn't do it myself.
