I'm not talking about putting it on everyones computer - that would
definitely defeat the purpose.  I would setup a Linux/Win4Lin/Tarantella
server, and provide Windows sessions on demand to whoever needs them.

Yes, it would cost money, but it would be much more secure, and much easier
to maintain, and much more flexible.

Also, many companies have lots of Win9x licenses laying around, so most
would not have to buy any Windows licenses.
