  Most of my users are not sophisticated enough to handle mixing remote and 
local modes.  I'm expecting to turn the remote machine into a thin client 
equivalent (enabling me to move the WinXP license to the VM).

  This seems to reduce some of my potential support issues.

  I'm currently experimenting with Thinstation (thinstation.net).  There are 
a couple of issues with it, like sound, but I'm leaving those issues for 
later.
