I was not suggesting that they want to use the existing Windows computers to access the LTSP on server.
They are planning to add about 50 new computers/terminals to their existing inventory of computers. The department that will be picking up the tab does not want to spend $1000 or so per Windows computer for simply viewing web based manufacturing instructions. However, the others involved in the decision is usually reluctant to go with solutions other than Windows. They say that it will be costly on the long run to maintain a group of computers / terminals with a different operating system. So, if I were to rephrase the original question: * Any solutions from Microsoft that can do what a set of 50 terminals and an LTSP server can do at a comparable cost? (The only solution I am aware of at this point is what I briefly mentioned above: 50 Windows computers to the tune of $50K or so.) Thanks!
