Doesn't Thin Client Computing do that -- The "PC" doesn't have anything on it, it's just a box that makes an Internet connection to a server that has the software and the users files on it.

There are some slides from the RTPnet conference this spring at http://www.rtpnet.org/conf/ctvo_files/v3_document.htm -- Cohesive Teamware described how it works, WinstonNet, and Chapel Hill/Carrboro City Schools described how they are using it. [The conference schedule with links to presentations is at http://www.rtpnet.org/conf/schedule.htm]

SimDesk has a great product -- See http://simdesk.com/.
Also see http://simhouston.com/, http://simchicago.com/, http://simindiana.com/. I'm looking forward to simnc.com ... Maybe someday...
