That is a really interesting idea! We would couple this with a
standard Windows GUI App, just like with the Sage app on OS X. If
the Windows GUI App we wrote decides that things aren't working right
(it will run some tests) based on the network, it will offer some
options, maybe including:
* view a console
* ssh into the machine
* bring up a full GUI inside the machine.
* suggest how to debug network/firewall/antivirus issues
Who here has experience with Windows GUI programming? I used to do a
lot of it back in 1993... but haven't since then!
