Winframe lets everyone on the network run windows applications (i.e. it
turns the NT box into a multiuser machine of sorts). So with 1 NT box and
50 linux machines sitting on people's desks, 50 linux users can be running
MS office through X (assuming you have enough memory on the NT box to
support 50 simultaneous Office users). For example, if the NT box is
called, say, billzjunk, then you can run MS Word on linux98 typing
rsh billzjunk wincenter -display linux98:0 --word
in an xterm.
