[K12OSN] OT - Web based appliance

[Huck]

I'm kind of confused...
is STI a Web 2.0 application?(browser should be enough?) or something 
running on a windows server?(rdp should do the trick?) or just a 
web-based interface?(browser should be enough again?) a stand alone .exe 
file?(wine maybe? on the ltsp server) ?
