Personal opinion on this point, but my disgust with MS is such that I would not really WANT to host their crap on my mainframe! Too likely that all problems would be blamed on the mainframe and not the POS that is Windows. (POS is not Point Of Sale in this case). I actually prefer something more like LTSP. Have all the CPU / Memory / graphics needed on the user's desktop with no permenant storage. All files on the server, which could be the mainframe z/Linux.

Could you just image; sharing a windows kernel (like CMS) and keeping your files like MS Excel etc. on your local workstation. Such a wonderful thing...
