Thanks William for the input!! :-)
On second thoughts since the company I am looking into this for as a
demo; only one of their machines runs the accounting software of which
only takes up 10GB of HD on the current limited machine that they have
running it. Perhaps 1 VDI image of Win XP is necessary so no messing
around with licensing issues as I know for a fact that this company
won't pay since no one in the whole country I reckon pays for licenses
apart from the computer companies they get to maintain their systems.
For browsing, office etc, I'm sure I can convert them over to Linux so
that might be the best resolution??

Kaya

There's basically two options:
1) multiple direct RDP sessions to Windows Server
2) VDI with Windows XP (each user gets a VM)
1) is more resource-economical, but as mentioned below, you need TS
CALs and some apps may not run properly. If your app doesn't run
properly under TS, you may be better off going with 2). For 2),
instead of TS CALs, I think you need a volume XP license. If you
already have that, it may be easier to go with 2) from a licensing
perspective. Otherwise 1) is also a little simpler since you don't
need the Sun VDI layer in the middle, and at least in my limited
experience with it, Sun VDI can be a little finicky sometimes.
