I don't know if MS Services for Unix may run Unix apps by "point and click", but I have seen a nice software called Tarantella, that is able to integrate Unix/Linux & Windows apps on the same graphical desktop. It requires its own app. server (Unix/Linux), but it is scalable and reliable. The manufacturer was SCO, before the acquisition of its OS division by Caldera. The company is now called Tarantella (www.tarantella.com) - you can download a demo and try the product to see if it fits your purpose.
