This is a good discussion, very informative.  I guess I don't understand 
the difference between running windows apps with wine as opposed to 
vmware.  I had thought that wine was for running individual windows 
apps, where vmware would allow the running of an entire windows (or 
other os) environment.  It appears you are throwing out wine as a 
possible solution for the entire windows image on a thin client?  If 
that's right, then I'm confused.
