I write EMR software for a living. I'm a huge Linux fan and so is most of my development team. The reality is doctor's don't buy Linux systems. They buy Windows systems. So we offer a Linux DB server and Window's client. In the end, however, everyone still gets a Windows DB server...... In thousands of installs we have 2 using Linux servers.
Just reality.
hmmm intresting point. It should be stated this is only an academic point. The government wants health care to provide resonable effort in it's privacy and security efforts. Win2K, NT, and XP pro will be easy to justify as resonable. 95,98,ME, XP home may be a little tougher.....
Anyway, to take the argument a step further, a covered entity could choose to create a Biz agreement or Chain of Trust agreement with M$. This would cover any issues that arose from the EULA. I wonder if M$ would sign it:)
Actually vncserver running under Linux can be setup as multiuser. You can have a session running for any user you wish. You can also have multiple sessions per user.
I share admin of a Linux box with someone else. We wrote a script to use different WM based on the port logged in from. That way he can use his ugly WM and I can use a good one:) when we login as root
