You need Windows Terminal Server 2008 (or 2003) plus the right client access licenses (CALs) depending on how you expect the machine to be used. A thousand dollars gets you a single server license plus 5 CALs. Then your 5 users connect to it from their Windows PCs using the Windows Remote Desktop Connection program. So your users will need Windows XP (or Vista, or 7) licenses as well, unless they have linux/mac desktops in which case they can use rdesktop to connect. Is it a thousand dollars worth of hassle to make your Tcl/Tk program OS-independent? Plus the time it takes to learn how to set up and admin a Windows TS 2008 box...
