Hallo Helmut, would you say running a separate Windows Server makes more sense than including Win-Applications via Wine into the fat client image? I have never had a Windows Server OS and we used to include the M$-Office apps via Crossover and Wine, so I wonder wether running one Linux server plus one MS server would perform so much better it's worth the effort.
