 ====== Using Windows Server as a Terminal Server ======

 At a certain level, it is more cost effective. The workstations can be anything laying around, and we don't care how reliable they are. Many of these clients simply purchase a used workstation, then make a Remote Desktop (RDP) connection to it. The operating system does not matter much, so long as there is a viable RDP client available on it. Currently, our clients use Mac OSX, Linux, and of course, various types of Windows. If a workstation dies, simply get another one and make the Remote Desktop connection again; your printers, applications and data are all still there. Unix has had this functionality for a long time, but Microsoft realized the need as far back as Windows Server 2003 and our clients have benefited from it.
