By the way, Microsoft and Novell are becoming interesting partners. We'll see how well Microsoft allows their applications to run under Novell's Xen.
Consider the following setup: Linux server running LTSP and vmware (or xen). One guest OS (Windows XP or Windows 2000) hosts the application per the vendor's requirements under vmware/xen. The Linux server runs LTSP for the clients. The only question is does the vendor only offer a Windows binary for the client piece ? Do they offer a web interface ? If they do offer a web interface client, you could easily use Firefox on the clients to attach to the application server running on the guest OS of vmware (or xen). If the client program is only a Windows executable, try the Windows client under wine or CodeWeavers to see how well it operates.
