indeed these are two different tasks, you are right, one runs the whole
OS while one only provides a layer to run single apps ... independently
from this fact, you break the EULA with both *if* you use it via
ltsp ... the design of ltsp allows you to use one single install and
license in the server (either of the OS (vmware) or in case of wine of a
single app)) for all users on the thin clients ...

the tasks are different, but the legal problems are identical ;)
