That's the hard bit, limited apps. Receptionist cope with that, doctors generally want to install all kinda crap.

I bought a client several Compaq Ipaq's (mini desktops, not the handheld thingys which came later) running Win ME (much to my horror) and installed them on their reception desk. Much to my amazement they were still going strong several years later without being touched. This can be done in a business environment where applications are limited to a small number. Likewise today, if you remove Internet Explorer from Win32 (not an easy task) and run as a standard user (non-administrative, a lesson from Unix) with a small defined application set, it's a remarkably stable platform. Combine this with the Novell rip-off best-of (Active Directory / Group Policy) and the Citrix rip-off best-of (Terminal Services) and it's possible to create a computing environment that is easy and enjoyable to use and manage, using only Microsoft operating systems - amazing but true!!! cheers, Peter.
