Because the applications they need are only available in Windows. I was asking because I thought it wasn't that hard to write an open-source alternative to the MS/Citrix offer based on the work already done for LTSP and rdesktop, but obviously, it's a lot more involved than this. No problem, I was just asking :-)
What do you expect to gain from having "an open-source alternative to MS/Citrix" ?
Microsoft's licencing basically says that if you *display* windows/office on a screen, by any means, you pay for the licence(s). So, whether you use MS terminal server, rdesktop or anything else, you still pay the cash.
