One of the main difficulties with windows apps over a network is that they have no concept of mutiple users and file permissions. For instance, the Normal.dot template in word must be writable by all users, usually resulting in some wonderful macro viruses. But my main problem is the price of Metaframe and the way that licensing is done. I believe we had to pay for NT workstation seat licenses for each connection, even though we are using the Sun clients. Bah
