Vmware is not free. They do have a vmware player that is free, but
licensing restriction on Microsoft Windows makes it impossible to
provide a vmware player with any version of windows.

Plus VMware is a serious resource load.

In general, if an app will run on a Linux desktop, it will run on a thin
client. For the most part, the thin client is not much more than a
screen, keyboard, mouse, and network card. All the app code is running
on the server and the display bits are sent down the wire.

The really nice thing is it's easy to test. Hang one thin client of the
existing server and see if the wine apps will run.
